My Microsoft account got hacked a while ago and is now completely beyond saving. I want to know if there is a way they can remove Minecraft entirely from that account thus allowing me to buy it again on my new account and use my original username . it is of some sentimental value.

If these are not the right tags I apologies I could not figure out what tags to use

    There is no supported way to recover or “free up” a Minecraft username from a Microsoft account that is already compromised and considered unrecoverable.

    For hacked Microsoft accounts, the only supported path is the official recovery and hacked-account flows. If the attacker has replaced the security info and the account recovery form fails, the account is treated as unrecoverable and Microsoft Support cannot override this or manually modify the account or its attached entitlements (including Minecraft):

    For Minecraft specifically, the recommended next step is to contact Minecraft Support directly to see if they can offer any alternative options for the game or profile, but there is no documented guarantee that the original username can be restored or reassigned:

    If the Microsoft account truly cannot be recovered, the usual outcome is:

    • A new Microsoft account can be created and Minecraft can be purchased again on that new account.
    • The old Minecraft username tied to the unrecoverable account generally cannot be reclaimed through Microsoft account support.
