Hello, I have an Xbox account (DrFire12) linked to one email
and an Xbox account linked to another (created on mistake)
I want to use the 2nd email to log into DrFire12 rather than the xbox account i accidentally made - is there a way to change the email?
I use an Xbox One X if that matters to this situation
I have access to both emails and xbox accounts
#Change email associated with Xbox account.

You can add a new email to an existing account, if that new mail has never been a Microsoft account before. But this switching I don’t think it going to work. At very least it is going to be very tricky with multiple steps that have to be done in the right order to avoid one ending upmnuked

Ah, okay. I'm just having difficulty signing into Epic Games right now.
I have a new laptop that's signed in with a Microsoft account not linked to DrFire12. Whenever I click 'Sign in with Xbox' in Epic Games, it automatically signs into the other Xbox account.

@still bolt What if I delete the 2nd xbox account?

You can delete an entire Microsoft account, I think it takes like a month or something.
But everything about it gets deleted not just the Xbox part. The email, the LinkedIn, the office 365, the one drive, etc
And note that if your epic account was linked to a Microsoft/xbox account already. It can’t be switched to a different one
Their support team might be able to help but no guarantee
