Removing extra numbers on gamertag

Hi. My name is Brilliant and I am happy to assist you today.

That means that the gamertag you initially chose is unavailable. You can change to one that is available or try different a different gamertag.

The numbers are given if you're using a gamertag that is already in use on the servers or if you use special characters. The only way to not have the numbers is to change your tag to something no one else is using.

However, ill lose my minecraft purchase right? since that one uses a name that i now cant get

I’m talking about the extra gamertag that appears only on my profile such as, tt#2457.

sorry for the confusion, I understand that I can’t only have the gamertag tt because other people have it. I was asking if i could completely remove that gamertag from account and only have my original gamertag which doesn’t have numbers and appears in game.
For example, when i’m looking at my profile i see “tt#2166”but my other gamertag that people see ingame is “ezbj” i was asking if there’s anyway to remove my social gamertag and show only ezbj

Hello there! I see you're trying to remove the extra gamer tag from your account. In order to do so,you can either (A) Use your 1 time free gamertag change or (B) you'll have to buy a gamertag change or you could contact Xbox support

I believe ALL new gamertags have the numbers at the end now, regardless of if they are taken or not. It's just so people can now have the same name and the extra numbers make the name unique now.
