So, a pretty important step to take in this case is to unlink the accounts to ensure you can still benefit from Microsoft’s other services once you’ve culled Skype from the lineup.
This is an obvious inconvenience your Microsoft account may also be your key to the company’s other services, including, OneDrive, Xbox Live and so on. If you did, then closing your Skype account permanently will also delete its linked Microsoft account. However, now it seems Microsoft has listened to users feedbacks and it’s providing an easy way to undo this problem for many.Before you embark on this liberating journey, an important distinction to make is whether you signed up for Skype with a Microsoft account or not. Previously I wrote about this merging account topic, but back then it was a bit complicated, because it involved to contact customer support. If this is your case and you need to undo the merge between the two accounts, I would recommend you to contact the Skype customer support. Most likely it won’t be an issue, but you need to know that after you unlink Skype, you will no longer find contacts from the previous account in your profile.Īlso keep in mind that if you’re a long time Skype user, your purchases won’t be affected, but if you created a new account with a Microsoft account, you may lose whatever Skype products you’ve purchased. In case you accidentally merged your Skype profile with a Microsoft account that you didn’t intend to, don’t panic you only need to unlink Skype from the Microsoft account, and then sign-in once again in the Skype Windows 8-style app with the correct email address and everything will be OK.
