Hello zl l,

We appreciate you for sharing this with us and welcome to the Xbox Forums.

We understand that your Microsoft account got deleted. This can indeed be a challenging situation.

According to Microsoft's policies, you have 60 days to cancel an account closure. If you get an error message "Account does not exist", it means that the account deletion has been effective made, the 60 days timer has expired, and there is no way to recover it.

Regarding your question, if your Microsoft account got deleted, it's possible that your Minecraft account is also affected since it's linked to your Microsoft account. However, if you have the transaction ID or prepaid pin number for your Minecraft Java edition, there's a chance that you can recover your account.



Here are the steps that you can follow to recover your Minecraft account:



1. Go to the Minecraft support page (https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us) and click on "Submit a request" at the top right corner of the page.



2. Fill out the required information, including your email address, subject, and description of the issue. Make sure to provide as much detail as possible, including your transaction ID or prepaid pin number.



3. Wait for a response from the Minecraft support team. They may ask for additional information or verification to confirm your ownership of the account.



4. Once your ownership is confirmed, the support team will assist you in recovering your Minecraft account.



In addition, you may also want to contact Microsoft support or Minecraft support to inquire about the status of your deleted account. They may be able to provide more information or assistance in recovering your account.



I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Kind regards,

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.

When Minecraft stopped working, I used my Microsoft account. And this issue happened after I changed my main alias from E-Mail 2 to E-Mail 1. I can play Minecraft if I log in with my E-Mail 2.

I purchased Minecraft on my Mojang account before the migration, but I don't use my mojang account and that Microsoft account that was migrated to.

With my Mojang account (E-Mail 1) migrated to Microsoft account (E-Mail 4) I bad the Java Edition. With my first Microsoft account (E-Mail 1, now 3) I had Minecraft Bedrock Edition. And with the other MIcrosoft account (E-Mail 2, now 1) I have both Java and Bedrock.

I purchased Minecraft Bedrock Edition on my Microsoft Account (E-Mail 1, now 3) from the Microsoft Store and I purchased Minecraft Bedrock Edition on my Microsoft account (E-Mail 2, now 1) from the Microsoft Store but the Java Edition I purchased from minecraft.net. On my Mojang account (E-Mail 1, now migrated to Microsoft Account with E-Mail 3) I bought Minecraft Java from minecraft.net.
