Remove Minecraft from old Microsoft account

Hello Dawson,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I understand that you want to transfer your Minecraft account from your old Microsoft account to a new one. I have checked my resources here and it shows that there are some suggested steps that you can try to transfer the game to your new Microsoft/Minecraft account however just a heads up, if the steps fail, we may need you to reach Mojang Support so they can help you further on this.

Here are the steps that you can try:

1. Log in to your Minecraft account on the Minecraft website using your Mojang username and password.
   
2. Click on the “Account” button.
   
3. Click on the “Migrate account to Microsoft” button.
   
4. Follow the prompts to complete the account migration process.
   

I hope this information helps you resolve the issue. If you need further assistance, you may submit a ticket to Mojang Support on this link: Home | Minecraft Help

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. Have a great day!

Sincerely,

Update, someone somehow removed my minecraft account from my microsoft account ??? I dont have minecraft anymore ??? Microsoft or whoever please help

Hi there Daniel S.

I am Lumie and I would love to assist you today.

I am so sorry you are having issues with the credentials system in your launcher

Here is a guide for your issue:

Clear Stored Credentials:

Windows Credential Manager:
Press Win + S and type “Credential Manager.”
Open Credential Manager and go to the “Windows Credentials” tab.
Look for any entries related to your old Microsoft account and remove them. This will prevent Windows from automatically logging in with the old credentials.

Mac Keychain Access:
Open the "Keychain Access" app from Applications > Utilities.
Search for any entries related to your old Microsoft account and delete them.
Remove Account in Settings:

Windows 10/11:
Go to Settings > Accounts > Email & accounts.
Find the old Microsoft account listed under "Accounts used by other apps" and remove it.
Mac:
Go to System Preferences > Internet Accounts.
Locate the old Microsoft account and remove it.
Clear Cache and Cookies:

Clear your browser cache and cookies to ensure no old session data interferes with your new login. This can be done via your browser settings, typically under Privacy or History.

Delete or Rename Minecraft Folder:

Navigate to the Minecraft game directory. The path is usually C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft on Windows, and ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft on Mac.
Delete or rename the .minecraft folder. This will force Minecraft to reset and prompt for fresh login details the next time you start the game.

Reinstall Minecraft:

If the above steps don’t work, try uninstalling Minecraft completely and then reinstalling it. This will clear any lingering settings that might be causing the login issues.

I hope this helps.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance. -Lumie

You cannot create @live.com addresses.

Have you already created the new account?

The biggest issue is removing the old address could remove the old address from your Microsoft account.
