Microsoft is facing fresh criticism over its handling of user accounts after another customer claimed the company permanently deleted their Microsoft account.
Streamer Joshua Khane shared the situation on X, claiming Microsoft deleted both his account and associated OneDrive storage even after confirming he was the account’s owner and that it had been compromised.
In the post, he wrote: “Microsoft deleted my account and OneDrive!!?? After acknowledging that I’m the owner of the account and that it was compromised? 25 f****** years of data, thousands of euros spent on games?? My son’s baby pictures? gone.”
He continued: “All because Microsoft couldn’t bring back a compromised account?? One of the biggest companies ever couldn’t do that, so they just deleted that s*** like it was nothing?? F****** shame on you!!”
