How to recover a removed alias

Question

Around three days ago I had changed my primary administrator email to a new one and clicked remove on the old email. However, I did not expect it to complete erase my previous email. I have tried to restore the previous email however the recovery form states it no longer exists. Is there anyway I could recover this old email.

Thank you

Hello,

I think you deleted the outlook.com or hotmail.com alais, right?

Unfortunately it cannot be recovered in anyway. Sorry.

Microsoft explains it here: https://support.microsoft.com/office/add-or-remove-an-email-alias-in-outlook-com-459b1989-356d-40fa-a689-8f285b13f1f2

Under the section "Remove an email address", it says: "Are you sure? If you remove an alias that's an email address from a Microsoft domain (like @hotmail.com, @live.com, @outlook.com, or @msn.com), you're permanently deleting the alias and it can't be associated with any Microsoft account again."
