In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

You can't

You can't delete your account, just stop using it.

Leave it inactive for a very, very long time.

It will be deleted. Has happened to me twice.

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

Guess you can't anymore...

Just make a new one OP.

It doesn't work like that anymore. None of the accounts get deleted due to lack of activity anymore.

Make a new email address and change the email linked to your XBL account to the new one on the Xbox 360 dashboard. Then come back here and sign up with your new email address.

No, you cannot. All you can do is not sign in.

Bingo. However, a word of caution- I don't know if your game stats will switch over as Bungie is no longer managing the Halo Universe.

In any case, you can't delete this account, you can only make another, as has been stated.

Account deletion on inactivity is gone for good.

Also, I have an old account on here whos e-mail I forgot. Is there a way to recover the email to that account?


No - bungie.net doesn't store the WLID logins (the email you're referring to), so we can't help you get them back if you can't get them back through WLID support.

Accounts can't be deleted anymore because none of our business. Achronos said so. A long time ago in a thread far, far away.
