Unable to close Windows Live account

Hi I have 2 windows live accounts one of which I only use now that is
linked with my xbox gamer tag.

I have already closed the old windows live hotmail account that was
linked to the old windows live account but despite doing this I get the
following error message.

CANNOT CLOSE
To close your
account, you must resolve one or more of the following issues:


- There is a Microsoft e-mail account (Windows Live Hotmail)
associated with your account, so you can't close your Windows Live
account immediately. To close your Windows Live account, you need to
close your Microsoft e-mail account first. After a period of
inactivity, your Windows Live account will automatically be closed.
'Close your Microsoft account.' (http://g.live.com/1MBAMen-gb/t_close)

Any help would be appreciated

Greetings,

As a closed Hotmail account, it will be automatically deleted after while of being used like
the message says. Just stop using it and it will disappear eventually.

Hello Moving Target,

It can take up to 120 days after the last usage/login.
