Hello,

1. I would like to close my Microsoft Account *** Email address is removed for privacy *** so I can hopefully in a year merge it as a alias with my other (primary) acccount that all my stuff is on.

However I get this message when I try to close it out:

"You need to cancel any paid services or Microsoft Points account associated with your Microsoft account."

I looked around, I dont seem to have any paiservices, or points on this account.

2. Also, I would like my mark my calendar when this account ill be ready for recycle. Is it exactly 1 year? 365 days? I herd somewhere its really only 180 days.
