I accidentally (Saturday 5/4/2024) deleted my hotmail account and am desperately looking for a way to get it back, preferably with content.
It went as follows:
In account settings, > your details > Manage your email address or phone number for login > I initially added my business email address under account aliases
Next, I set my business address as the primary alias.
Then I deleted my email, not knowing that it would mean deleting my account completely.
I can't log in to my hotmail account anymore.
Please can you help me to restore my email account

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:

@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
