NEW FIX for PS4 Error Message: Microsoft account already linked to PSN

I, as several of you, have had this issue when attempting to link my Microsoft account to my PS4. It will give the message that it was already linked even though I did not have another account. After nearly a year of trying to sign in I found a simple fix. I have sent this guide to others in discord to see if it works and so far it has. If this works for you, please share this thread, I will be making another thread on Reddit to try and help others. The first couple of steps sound familiar but it's the last steps that make it key. This is not a 100% guarantee fix, but I will show you what I have done, and what I have told others to do, which has worked so far.

1. Go into Settings>[Storage]>[System Storage ]>[Saved Data]>[Minecraft] and then delete the saved data's that have the blue background and the gear icon in the middle.
   
2. I then reopened the game to where it will treat it like I have never opened the game since the update and it will give me the chance to link my Microsoft account.
   
3. Follow the instructions. Don't worry, it will give you the same fail message, it might even say it's signing you in but when you hit cancel it will pop up the "Oops!" error message.
   
4. Once you have hit ok on the error message scroll down in the menu and start up the old Minecraft PS4 edition located in the "Editions" tab of the menu. It will ask you if you want to "Launch Editions", click Yes.
   
5. Once you are in the old Minecraft PS4 Edition just chill in the lobby for around 30 seconds. Play with the tabs, but make sure not to changed anything in the settings.
   
6. After about 30 seconds click "Launch New Minecraft" in the menu of the old PS4 Edition. This will bring you back into the current edition of Minecraft
   
7. Now if done correctly, it should automatically sign you into the Microsoft account you were previously trying to link.
   

This took me around two tries with this technique, so if it doesn't work restart the application and try it again.

I hope this works for y'all. I have been trying to figure this out for months and by luck I got it to work last night. As I said before I even helped a friend of mine on discord with this issue and it worked for him. If this works for you, please share this thread as I know several people are looking for this fix.

Thanks!
