Hello, I closed two of my Microsoft accounts because I want to join them to this actual account, the system still does not let me do it because they still appear as "in use" and will be in that way for 60 days that I do nos want to wait. Is it possible to do something before completing that time?

    Hello CarlosRiba1

    Based on your description, there seems to be some misunderstanding about what you can do with a "closed" account

    There is no way to bypass the 60 wait period - it's a security precaution but don't think that it would help you for what you are trying to do which if that's the case, you may want to reconsider actually deleting the account

    To clear about a few things

    #1 - Once an account is deleted, it is permanent. That account address can not be recovered or used for anything ever again by you or anyone else

    #2 - There is no option to "merge" Microsoft Accounts if that's what you're trying to do

    #3 - You cannot use any existing Micorosft email address as an account alias

    #4 - What you can do is add one Microsoft Account email address as a "connected account" in the corresponding Outlook.com account belonging to another Microsoft account
