I had created a domains.live based account for a custom domain a while ago with active users.

Today I was trying to login as admin and was unknowingly using the wrong email account to login. Long story short I signed into domains.live account using a different account and when I did not see the domain associated with this account I tried to add it. It is now asking me to prove ownership. 

In the meantime I figured out the issue; I was logging in using the wrong email. Now that I logged in with the correct email I see the domain and can see all my users...

The problem is if I cancel service that I was trying to associate this domain with my new email account which is asking me to prove ownership, it gives me the message "This will permanently delete your domain. All users will be able to continue to use their Microsoft accounts, but will permanently lose their communications data (mail, offline messages)." Remember both accounts are referring the same domain name. One is working/active, the second awaiting proof of ownership.

I want to delete the incorrect association with the domain. If I Cancel Services does this mean all the users setup under my original email account will also be deleted? or can I go ahead and disassociate only this account from proving ownership?

Please advise.
