I have removed my hotmail account accidentally, how can i restore this?
If you accidentally removed your Hotmail account, the way to restore it depends on what exactly was removed. If you only removed the account from your device or email app, you can simply add it again. Open your email app or Outlook, go to account settings, choose Add Account, and sign in with your Hotmail email address and password. Once you log in, your emails, contacts, and folders will sync back automatically because they are stored on Microsoft’s servers. However, if the Hotmail account itself was closed or deleted from the Microsoft account settings, you may still be able to recover it if it has been less than about 60 days since the deletion. In that case, go to the Microsoft sign-in page and try logging in with your Hotmail email address. Microsoft will guide you through the account recovery process where you may need to verify your identity using a phone number, alternate email, or security questions. If the recovery period has already passed, the account usually cannot be restored, and you may need to create a new email account.
