Hello, I want to permanently delete an email address. It is also the main address of my Microsoft account.

I deleted it from Outlook but I want it to no longer exist. How can I do that?

Thank you for your help.

    Hello,

    In other words, you want to close your Microsoft account.

    The instructions are here.

    What is well understood is clearly expressed,
    And the words to say it come easily.

    Hello
    Deleting the Outlook address is not enough; if it is the primary address of your Microsoft account, you must first add a new address, set it as primary, and only then delete the old one from account.microsoft.com > Your info > Manage how you sign in. Otherwise, Microsoft does not allow the deletion.
