    How to Download, Move or Delete Xbox Live Profiles

    You need to download, move or delete your Xbox Live profile in certain circumstances. If you want to play on multiple consoles of your own or of your friends, you will have to download or move your Xbox Live profile from one console to another.

    In addition, you might need to download the Xbox Live profile for the following reasons:

    • You deleted you Xbox live profile by mistake.
    • You need to use your Xbox LIVE gamertag on another console.
    • You want to use your existing Zune or Games for Windows account instead of creating a new account.

    You can also move your profile to the other consoles using a USB flash drive.


    How to download Your Xbox Live Profile

    You can easily download your Xbox Live gamertag to a console by following a few easy steps:

    • Press the larger X button in the center of your controller which will lead you to the Xbox Guide.
    • Select Download Profile to start download. If your do not find this option, sign out of your profile by pressing X.
    Enter the user ID of your Microsoft account (Windows Live ID) which is associated with your Xbox Live gamertag and then enter the password. Select the desired storage drive to save the profile.

    Note: A Microsoft account is essential for signing in to any Microsoft services like Xbox Live. You have to provide your parent’s Microsoft account information to download the profile if your account is an Xbox Live child account.

    You can save your "Microsoft account" password on the console, so that you don't need to provide it to sign into your profile again. The Remember Password option is off by default. It is better to save the password on your own console not to be asked to enter the password again and again at the time of singing into your profile. If you are using a console that is not yours, you may want to leave the Remember Password option off (unchecked).

    Now you should be able to sign in with your gamertag on the console.

    **If per chance you did opt to check the Remember Password option on someone else's console, your password can be remotely removed off of that console. Check out How to Password Protect your Profile on Xbox Live.**


    How to move your profile to another console

    You can easily move your profile to another console using a USB flash drive or Xbox Memory unit following these steps:
    • First off, plug a USB flash drive or an original Xbox 360 Memory Unit into your console.
    • Go to the Settings option to select storage and then select All Devices.
    • Select Gamer Profiles and Press Move.
    • You need to select the USB Storage Device or Memory Unit
    After performing the above successfully, remove the memory unit or USB flash drive and insert it into the console on which you want to move your profile. You are required to enter your Microsoft account password which ensures the security of your account.

    After playing on another console, if you want to move it to previous console, remove the USB flash drive or Memory unit and take it back to the original console and repeat the steps above.

    **You will be asked for your Microsoft account password when you move your profile to a different console. This is to protect you and your account if the device is ever stolen. If you want to find out more, check out How to Password Protect your Profile on Xbox Live.**


    How to delete a gamer profile


    You can delete unused profiles following few steps:

    • Go to Settings to select system.
    • Select Storage
    • Go to All Devices and select Gamer Profiles.
    • Select the gamertag that you want to delete.
    • Press delete.
    Note: You can delete the profiles only or you can delete both the profiles and items (the associated saved games and achievements).

    Move my Xbox Live profile to another Microsoft account on Xbox One

    Hi vV Eli Vv -

    Unfortunately, this is not a feature supported by the Xbox One console at this time. We do not have information on if, or when, that feature will be made available but if you have an Xbox 360 Console available to you, you are able to move your Xbox Live
    profile using the Xbox 360 as outlined in the
    Xbox Live Account Migration
    page.

    Let us know if you have any further questions. Move my Xbox Live profile to another Microsoft account on Xbox One :)

    Deleting Gamertag from existence

    Hi there,

    -

    like mentioned it is not possible to delete a xbox live account, but there is a way for you to achieve the goal you want.

    You can move xbox live accounts to another Microsoft Account, which will free up the email address and to be used to move another xbox live account to it.

    Be aware that you can only move an xbox live account to another Microsoft Account when the account has been on a xbox 360 console for at least 30 days without it being downloaded and be sure not to use any devices with the Microsoft account while doing the switch
    Microsoft Account steps, to prevent auto creation of another xbox live account

    So you will basically want to do the following.

    -Download the profiles to the xbox 360 console if they are not present on the console yet and wait 30 days if one of them was downloaded

    -Move the unwanted xbox live account you want to remove to a (new) different Microsoft Account, to free up the email address

    -Move the wanted xbox live account to the just freed up Microsoft Account

    -

    See this link for step by step instructions how to switch a xbox live account to another Microsoft Account:

    support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account

    Link my Xbox profile to another pre-existing Microsoft account

    Since it is already a Microsoft account there is no way to add that email to the other account.

    There is no way to move an Xbox profile from one Microsoft account to another.

    There is no way to move an already existing Microsoft server/account email (outlook, Hotmail, live, MSN.com) to another Microsoft account.

    If you are not wanting to use the email that is currently attached to your Xbox profile you are unfortunately going to have to create a new email address.

    How do I close a free Xbox Live account

    Hi there,

    the only way that is closes to closing an xbox live account is by closing the Microsoft Account itself.

    Which I assume you don't want to do, so the best alternative is to move that xbox live account to another Microsoft Account (and close that one) This will free up the Microsoft Account and should allow you to use it to upgrade your daughters offline profile
    to an xbox live account.

    The steps on how to move a xbox live account to another Microsoft Account can be found here:

    support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account Be aware that this may take 30 days before
    you can perform the steps

    The steps on how to upgrade an offline profile to an online profile can be found here:

    support.xbox.com/.../offline-profile-to-gamertag

    That should allow you to upgrade her offline profile, but like I mentioned it may take 30 days to complete, since moving an xbox live account to another MS account can only be done after the profile has been on the console for at least 30 days.

    Please help me change my gamertag email

    Hi there,

    -

    You can't combine services on different Microsoft Accounts into one.

    You can however move xbox live accounts (and all connected purchases, subscriptions, gamerscore) to another Microsoft Account.

    See this link on how to switch a xbox live account to another Microsoft Account and for all information about it:

    support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account


    -

    Be aware that a xbox live account must be on a console for at least 30 days before it can be moved and only one xbox live account can be on a MS account at the same time.
