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.
