    Hey there! Nice to meet you!

    If I may ask, do you see any unfamiliar email addresses/phone numbers when trying to sign in to your account or when resetting the password?

    Lastly, may I know when was the last time you successfully signed in to your Hotmail account?

    Best regards,

    Darhyl

    If your Hotmail account has been deleted, it is important to know that once an alias (like your Hotmail email address) is removed from a Microsoft account, it cannot be associated with any Microsoft account again. This means that if you have deleted your Hotmail account, it is likely permanently gone and cannot be reinstated.

    If you believe your account was deleted in error or if you need further assistance, you may want to refer to Microsoft Support for guidance on account recovery options. However, please note that the chances of recovering a deleted Hotmail account are very limited.
