Previously we discussed about How to Create a Microsoft Account on Windows 10/11but if by chance you have lots of accounts and not all of them are used, why don’t we just delete the account.
So deleting your own Microsoft account is of course very easy, as long as we have access to the account. In other words, we still remember email and password and don’t forget it.
To delete your own account, there are actually no special steps, we just need to log in using our account and then go to the page following just.
After that, we will be shown what will be lost when the account is deleted, starting from access to OneDrive, Outlook and all other Microsoft products and services. So, if you are committed to deleting your account, we can scroll to the bottom of the page and then we can choose how long to wait for deletion, we can choose 30 days or 90 days.
During this time, if we log back into the account, the deletion process will be cancelled, so if it really is deleted, you should leave it and never log in again.
After click Next On the previous page (like the screenshot above), we will be asked to mark all available checkboxes, after that you can enter the reason why you want to delete the account.
And if so, the account will be closed on the specified date, the account you logged in to will be done automatically terlogout on all devices.
To completely delete your account, make sure you never log in again.
What If I Forget My Account?
We forget username and password from Microsoft account, but we want to delete it, is there anything we can do? The answer is no, especially if we don’t add a recovery email or telephone number which means we can no longer log into the account.
However, if you want to go further, you can try the method forgot account and fill form that Microsoft provides. But if it fails, then we have completely lost hope.
Accounts will be deleted automatically if they are inactive for a long time!
But don’t be sad guys, if your account has been inactive for 2 years, the account will most likely be automatically deleted from the Microsoft system.
Microsoft may delete your account if it remains inactive for two years. However, it is possible that you may still be able to log in after two years of inactivity, but you may receive a message asking you to reactivate your account.
However, there is a possibility that the account will be accessible again after two years of inactivity, only the user may receive a message to do so reactivation and most likely it will start everything from the beginning, like entering your name, date of birth and everything.
So, for those of you who really forgot your account, whether you forgot your password or email, just forget it, because forgetting is the best solution to solving the problem.
