Deleted Live alias, did not know that would delete email account completely

I deleted my Live.com alias after it began sending spam to my contacts. My thought was that i would unlink it from my new outlook.com address and could help me change the settings. I discovered after deleting the alias I could not longer access my live account or any of the emails that usually get sent to that account. How do I fix this? I tried to sign up for another live account with the same alias and found that it was impossible.
