Two Xbox accounts but only one Microsoft account.

I know for sure I only have one Microsoft account with my email the same one I've always used on anything Xbox related. I was playing on my PlayStation when I was prompted and had to make an Xbox account to play Minecraft there while I has one already thinking it would just sign me back in I used the same email and now I have a second Xbox account that's fresh and completely empty and I tried signing out to log into my main account and I cannot do so it only lets me log into the empty account when trying and I don't want to re-purchase my games and re-add all my friends thanks to that. My main and full account I am wanting to sign back into and access is "PII removed" while the newly made one it forces me to log into that I do not want is "PII removed" 5999469

Left I want and can't access but see it is still up. Right I don't but is the only one I can access. Both the exact same Microsoft account, email, and password. Please help anyway you can I tried to explain it the best I could and I'll answer any questions as best I can to try and get my main account back.

My friend seems to have the same problem. He gets an empty account on the app when signing in with the same email and password. He has been away from his xbox for a while. I cant figure it out.

Hello Allan Park,

Thanks for replying.

Please also ask your friend to check with Microsoft Support to make sure. It can be whether his account was hacked, it was deleted due to inactivity or he just remember the wrong account.

Thank you for your understanding.
