Microsoft account deleted and Minecraft account

Since my Microsoft account was linked to my Minecraft account I lost access to my Minecraft account cause someone deleted my Microsoft account. Now Im not sure what happens but I was wondering if i would be possible to link a diffrent Microsoft account to an already migrated Minecraft account.

(*Moved from feedback.)

Unfortunately not. If the Microsoft account that your Minecraft account was migrated to was deleted then your Minecraft would be essentially deleted along with it.

I understand your partner had his Microsoft account hacked and deleted, which caused the Minecraft account to become inaccessible. You’re hoping to either recover access to the original Minecraft account or reclaim the sentimental username. Is that correct?

Was the Microsoft account permanently deleted? If the account was deleted less than 60 days ago, it might still be recoverable. But after 60 days, Microsoft permanently removes the account and all associated services, including Minecraft. To try recovering the account, use this form:

Your partner should fill this out using the original Microsoft email address and as much accurate information as possible.

Minecraft accounts are tied to Microsoft accounts. Since the migration in 2021, all Minecraft Java Edition accounts are linked to Microsoft accounts. If the Microsoft account is gone, the Minecraft license tied to it is also lost. Unfortunately, Mojang does not support transferring licenses to a new account.

Why the Minecraft username still appears in use. Minecraft usernames don’t immediately free up after an account is deleted. They’re usually held for 37 days after a name change or deletion, but sometimes longer. If the username is still in use, it could mean the account hasn’t been fully removed or the name hasn’t been released.

Can you get the username back? Only if it becomes available again. Here's what you can do:

Create a new Microsoft account.

Purchase Minecraft again if you want to play.

Try to claim the old username when setting up the new Minecraft profile:

https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/profile

If it says the name is unavailable, it might still be locked to the old account.

Suggested steps:

Attempt recovery of the original Microsoft account using the form above.

If recovery fails, create a new Microsoft account and purchase Minecraft again.

Monitor the username availability every few weeks.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance. Looking forward to your response.

Hi Shay! I'm Rostom, an Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you here.

Please be informed that once a Minecraft account is migrated to a Microsoft account, it can no longer be undone. I am afraid there's no option to delete just your Minecraft account since it's considered a Microsoft account already. If you want to delete your Minecraft account, you must delete the Microsoft account itself.

I contacted support a year ago. Minecraft sent me to microsoft. microsoft to minecraft. They were wasting my time without coming up with a solution. Minecraft has been linked to an already deleted account. Now I can't delete my unwanted microsoft account. Because not all accounts have the right to unlink an erroneous link? How bad am I. I want to play on the main account, I am very offended by the attitude of microsoft and minecraft!!!

Hello, I want to delete my Minecraft account without causing any impact to my Microsoft account.

Can anyone kindly offer step by step instructions on how to do this please?

You can't. Your Microsoft account IS your minecraft account. They are one in the same so you cant delete one without deleting the other.
