I have removed my hotmail account accidentally, how can i restore this?
Hi dghuman,
to try to regain access to your account, you can try to use the Recovery Form:
Microsoft provides a recovery form that you can fill out to verify your identity and regain access to your account. Here is how to use it:
- Go to the Microsoft account recovery page: https://account.live.com/acsr
- Enter your Hotmail email address that you are trying to recover.
- Provide an alternate email address where Microsoft can contact you about your case.
- Follow the on-screen instructions and provide as much information as possible. This may include recent passwords, subject lines of recent emails, and other account details.
- After submitting the form, Microsoft will review your information and respond to the alternate email address you provided with instructions to recover your account.

LeonPavesic Thank you so much for giving the tips. I did try to fill out the form it gave me error message (The Microsoft account you've entered does not exist.). seems like they permanently deleted that account, I don't know how they can do that. I have that email last 35 years and has all my all info, history data. Thanks again for you time for replying to this message.

Hi dghuman,
thanks for the update.
As you mentioned that you deleted the account on 4th of May 2024, your account should not be deleted forever.
I recommend you to contact the Microsoft Support directly: https://support.microsoft.com- Ata_sabanciJun 12, 2024Copper Contributor
