How do I remove my account from Microsoft?

Basically what I want to do is completely close this account of Microsoft to not only from this computer, but I mean shut it down completely, I want to reset everything, create a new e-mail address, and then create a new account for this computer, then everything will be connected to an email address instead of my account Skype being an e-mail my ebay totally different email, Xbox account being a different email address...

Any help?

Hi Prendy,

I see this is your first post on this forum, welcome to the Microsoft Community forums!

Rather than delete the existing Microsoft account, you can simply link your Skype and Xbox accounts on the current account. You can check these links:

If you have multiple Microsoft accounts, you can choose one account to connect to all services:

To merge your Skype account to your existing Microsoft account:

To switch your Xbox gamertag for the existing Microsoft account:

If you want to delete the old account and open a new account of Microsoft; Check out these links:

Note: If you have a Hotmail Plus, Xbox Live, or another subscription, cancel this subscription before closing your account.

To create a new account:

    Hello world

    I want to remove my account from Microsoft (https://account.live.com/closeaccount.aspx), but when I'm about to move forward, there is a great message to say out loud "make sure that * address email is removed from the privacy * is ready to close ', and it has info on how to set up automatic responses, etc...  The problem is... I don't want to delete my gmail account, I want to remove my account from Microsoft.  I signed up just to use the synchronization of OneNote, which I changed since then and I want to clean up after myself.

    Question: If I have my Microsoft account deleting, I delete my gmail account or only an association on behalf of gmail?

    I realize this is really basic, but I was unable to string together a search phrase Google/Bing which lead me to a response.

    Thanks in advance.  :-)

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

    What is the reason for the deletion of your Microsoft account?

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    Deleting an account Microsoft does not close the account that are associated with him. It only removes its association. Thus, your "Gmail" account will remain open.

    You can refer to this article:

  • How can I remove an account from synergy, Palm across the profile

    I have reported this Palm support, but I hope that someone else has seen cela and knows the answer (Hardbeatz, this should be easy for you).

    I let someone else connect to their facebook account on my pre +. He immediately put all his contacts in my contact list. Not what I wanted. So I deleted this account in the Facebook application, in the address book application and everywhere else, I could find a reference to it.  However, when I "sync" my Palm profile, this e-mail address continues to appear and returns the error that he uses an invalid password (Fortunately he didn't remember". So, whenever I have sych my profile, I get this error.

    Coincidentally, I got a replacement pre + a few days later. So I activated the phone and it continues to show that email address when I go through the process of"premiere". I ran doctor OS, twice. I did the reset/full erase, twice.

    Every time I have "sync" my contacts with my Palm profile, I get this "incorrect password" for the other person's facebook account. Really? Where that little info?

    It isn't on my profile page palm, not in my facebook client, not in my address book...

    I spent a few hours talking with a person well-informed VERY to Palm support. He opened a ticket because he couldn't solve it.

    OK, I have the solution and I must say that I am surprised at the answer (and not in a good way).

    It turns out that synergy will be integrated into the accounts without asking. He sees no difference with an additional e-mail address and someone using their email address to check facebook from my phone.

    Palm note: It is a horrible and dangerous and quite unexpected. It is essential that synergy wonder if I want to do this before you take this step. I had more than 500 new contacts of a person with my phone for 30 seconds. And I got constant actions of backup or automatic and manual synchronization error messages. Nice to wake up to the error messages. This behavior is a bug. Behavior wrong and undocumented. Until fix you this, there should be a label on every new phone that says: 'be careful, never lend this phone to anyone, unless they promise to do nothing more than to make telephone calls'.

    Solution: It is in fact just as crazy as the problem, in my humble OPINION. When someone connects to the facebook app, synergy adds this e-mail account to 4 applications! A reasonable person would assume that a remove the e-mail account of the FaceBook application that would solve. In fact, it was smart enough to delete contacts 500 +, he shot on the unwanted FaceBook account. But imagine that it would also add this account to 3 other applications? Although it adds account 4 apps, it wasn't smart enough to REMOVE IT from these applications.

    Go to more than 3 applications. Photos, address book and calendar. Once you have deleted the email address of these 4 (Yes 4) apps, the problem is resolved. WUH? I had already done. Then I went to a replacement phone, and apparently not all of those changes when this is stated in my Palm profile before I activated the new material. So he put those references into every time I reset or "doctored" the phone. When I re-trace my steps, I found that the e-mail account was back in the calendar, even though I had removed it several times.

    Palm support had me once again, remove it, then run a manual backup. That seemed to make the deletion permanent.

    In the application (at the top left of the screen) menu, choose 'Preferences and accounts' to remove the rogue e-mail account. Delete this email account in FaceBook, Photos, address book and calendar.

    I don't have the courage to let someone try it with other guests of the social network, MySpace, or Twitter, but I hope that they behave in the same way.

    Moreover, Palm support this increased rapidly and has been VERY helpful to understand this. It took them a while to understand it, but they kept the call and try things until they got it. I'm surprised, it was not documented somewhere, but I'm really impressed by how much they knew. They did a great job! Kudos to Palm support!

    I hope this helps others, and I hope fixes Palm synergy runaway nature and provides a more granular control on what she accompanied...

  • How can I remove an account from a computer profile without deleting data?

    Hello! I want to delete mozilla of a computer and delete my account profile so that all my data on this computer is removed. But I use the same profile in mozilla on a different computer and I do not know if my profile will retain the data stored on this computer after it is deleted in the other. Can you please clarify this issue for me. Thank you!

    Best,

    If you want to remove your personal data on a reliable computer, then you will need to perform a secure erase to erase the data on the hard drive.
    Otherwise Windows will mark only data as being deleted.

    It is best to disconnect from Sync before you delete data on a computer to prevent other computers from getting affected.

    You can use the Profile Manager to delete a profile.
