I have removed my hotmail account accidentally, how can i restore this?
HELP PLS! the same thing happen to me. I lost everything 25 years of emails. How can I recover my account?
I opened mine back in 1990s during high school - when computers were cracking the hard floppy still running on windows 95 - somehow my main account - linked to everything to include APPLE - was an ‘alias’ whatever they (Microsoft) thinks that means isn’t what the rest of us think it means. I clicked the ‘REMOVE’ tab button and it said do I want it deleted from this account my secondary it was somehow unicorn majestically linked together - of course I don’t want the main accessed so I hit the do it button and it wiped 30+ years away. My only question is - who thought this was a great idea to think this ‘removal button’ was the best idea? At no time did I ever log into that main account to do this so that shouldn’t have even been possible in the first place…. I’m heated - but I have hope….
Once deleted, addresses cannot be added back or used to create a new account. Sorry.
The addresses weren't in separate accounts that were linked. They were both are aliases of the same account.
They need a remove button for people who want to remove an alias from their account (you can have up to 10 addresses on an account.) I would like to see a delay in permanently removing it - in a lot of cases, twenty four hours would be enough. But would want at least seven days. or use the same as the minimum for closing an account - 30 days.
Did you delete the address from the account? If so, it is gone and cannot be recovered. But all mail in the mailbox is safe. Log into outlook.com using an address or phone number still on the account.
The only way the mail would be deleted is if you deleted it or you closed the account. (You have 30 - 60 days to reopen the account.
