Xbox profile removing

Faroxh · Jan 16, 2014

Hello

I sold my old console, before that I moved my profile to a usb memory stick. Console didnt show my profile anymore but I didnt format my hard drive.

My question is: does the new owner have access to my profile or not?

:)

Game Sharing: Xbox One vs. PS4?

if you remove your friends profile and make it back to your profile on your home console do you lose your friends games? does their profile always have to be on your xbox as home console to be able to play their games?

How do you remove all information from your Xbox One console?

Remove your profile from the consoles hard drive and any other memory units so the only way to sign into it is re-download the profile. Also, as a further measure, while logged into your account on the xbox website, click "my account" top right corner, then
click "security family and forums" then click "xbox 360 profile protection". From there it will show all the consoles that have access to your account, click "require profile download" for each one. This makes it so its required for you to redownload and input
your info to redownload and sign back into your account on each console.

Your XBOX profile is saved online and can be deleted from your HD on your xbox and without your email and password no one can access it.

If it's an online account (meaning it has an email attached and can sign into Live) you won't lose the account. Anything purchased on the account is tied to the account and can be redownloaded. The only thing you could lose are game saves unless you have them backed up or stored on the cloud.

If it's an offline account (no email attached, never signed into Live), then you would lose everything on the account unless you backed it up.

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are seeking to remove an Xbox profile associated with your daughters Microsoft account.

A Microsoft account is an amalgamation of different services [Windows, Office, Xbox, Outlook, etc.] so once you have used one of these services, it becomes a part of your account.

There is no way to disassociate these services from your account either.

If she was not the one that used her account for Xbox related services, its implied someone knows her info and used it for this service. It may have also been added unintentionally.

At this point, I would have to recommend that you
update the password on your Microsoft account in order for you to secure your account, and prevent any unauthorized purchase if your payment instrument is attached to your account.

I'm sorry about any confusion or turmoil this might have caused.
