You'll need a lot of information. If you don't have the original emails containing the transaction ID for your purchase, you're screwed. You can deactivate the account but you can't ever delete it since M$ relies on this number to prove ownership. Otherwise, collect the following information:

The original emails that list the transaction ID The original emails that list the credit card transactions (if you have these sent during a purchase) The original email that contains the 4-digit ID for confirming your account

You really only need the transaction ID email, but more information is better.

M$ doesn't understand PDF, EML, or PST files, so you'll need to convert them to an image like JPG. There are plenty of converters online, I didn't care because I'm deleting the account. Who sent you the transaction record depends on how old the account is. If it's old enough, it's from Moneybookers. Newer accounts were paid via PayPal.

You'll also need:

The City and County the account was created in The Month/Year of creation The birthdate of the account creator. The IGN of the account The email used to create the account The answers to the security questions (if your account has those.)

If you want to fully delete your account, contact Minecraft support and provide your transaction ID.

Fill out the form that follows.

What is the Category of Your Questions? Account Support What is the Subject for Your Question? Delete Account

Continue filling out the rest of the form. In the "What can we help with?" box, type "I want to delete my account."

Attach the images of your transaction emails. Make sure one of them has the transaction ID in it. You can attach up to 5 items. Once it's filled and attached, submit the form. You will almost immediately be taken to another screen, and you may see a message about submission in the upper right corner (very brief.)

Now, wait.

You'll usually be contacted by some Indian with an English name on the "I'm a minecraft gamer too!" form. This is a chat form, and will not work if you have aggressive script blocking. If they don't immediately shunt you to support, type "I want to delete my account. My transaction ID is .....id......" You may have to go through a round or two of "Here's how to deactivate..." before they send you to support.

Support will email you, and probably request further information, including all the stuff like birthdate, questions, account creation date, etc. Answer all of these and wait some more. You may get an email stating that you haven't replied, say that you sent the information on date and want to delete your account. Sometimes you'll get asked if you really want to delete your account. Make it clear that "I want to delete this account." You'll get the scary warning and they'll start the deletion process which could take 30 days.

It's a pain in the ass, but if you don't have that transaction ID then you're screwed.

I finally dumped my old minecraft accounts (had a few, bought for various "guest" players on a server) and it's somewhat of a pain in the ass. Here's what I found out. This process can take several days to complete. If you're lucky, you'll have everything done in under an afternoon. You'll need a lot of information.

That's the opinion of a lot of people.

I've been on servers where chat became so toxic that even the moderator (of an anarchy server) had to step in and place some good natured filters on things (nigger became something just as offensive but less nigger-spam) just because chat became unusable. Can you imagine someone being forced to read the equivalent of online cancer all day in an effort to try and moderate it?

Right and the owners/mods of servers should be given tools to combat that. Microsoft should not be taking it into their own hands.

The nature of the server was to let it happen, as long as it didn’t break the server. Others do moderate with a strong hand.

Gotta keep that pimping hand strong.
