Removed account HELP

Tiffany Fisher1 · Aug 11, 2022

So my son removed his profile from his xbox one, he did this because warzone keeps crashing and he thought maybe he would "reset" it. When he went to log back in he hit "add new" and entered the email and password. We then realized he made a whole new profile with same email and password. How can this be? Anyway to fix it?

We tried the forgot username and password, but because its the same email and password that was used it just keeps signing into the new profile. He is very upset because he lost his friends list and maybe even game stats?

Please help!

Hi Tiffany,

It’s not possible to create an account/profile with an email address associated to another account. Microsoft doesn’t recycle email addresses, so even if the account was completely closed, the email address would then permanently stay inactive and an account can’t be created with that one.

Is it possible there was an alias (secondary email address) connected to your son’s account that was being used to access it and sign in?

Try all potential email address and password combinations for the account that was deleted from the console. What happens when your son tries to sign in at https://account.microsoft.com/account and https://www.xbox.com/?

Hope his helps.

Hi there,

I've heard about similar situations, if you are sure the same email address was used then it's best to contact Xbox Support at http://support.xbox.com/contact-us they should be able to see if there are indeed two accounts connected to the same email address and advise on what to do next.

Is not possible to create a new Microsoft account (email address) and replace the old one

If your son doesn't remember the previous email, you may need to proceed with the account recovery form:

https://account.live.com/acsr

Or you could try alternative methods to recover your account here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil...

You (or him) can try all the emails you remember or if you had a phone number attached to the account, you can use that too.

In cases like this no one Microsoft agent can assist you with this process / tell your the specific email / modify or share account details due to privacy and security policies

Hope it helps, if you have further questions feel to ask

Unfortunately, you cannot delete an account completely. You can just stop using it, but it won't be deleted. From the looks of it, you're not an Xbox LIVE Gold Member, so you won't need to cancel a subscription, but if you need to cancel a subscription to
another account, you can visit this link:
support.xbox.com/.../cancel-xbox-live-gold-subscription

If blocking them isn't working, then try removing your profile from the console, then redownload it. That might help with your issue. Instructions on how to remove the profile, and redownload is here
