Windows 10: my minecraft account that was linked to this microsoft account has disappeared.

I am able to log into the minecraft.net page however i look at accounts and the minecraft account no longer exists. I have not given out any personal information that anyone can use to access the account.

Minecraft Microsoft Account Linked

I found out that once you link a Minecraft and Microsoft account together you are not able to unlink them or link multiple together. So, if I want to play Minecraft again, I will need to buy Minecraft again and link it to a Microsoft account. I am wondering if there is a way I can get my money back for the old account that I can no longer play? Because I messed up the linking and cannot unlink the accounts. It is already bad enough that I will lose all my progress on my worlds, but it will be horrible if my money also goes to waste.

Just a side note, I am also wondering if Minecraft and Microsoft will make it easier to link accounts or make it so it's more forgiving if you mess up the linking?

Remove Microsoft linked account in Windows 10

This question refers to steps 3 and 4 in the thread How to rename the User folder in Windows 10?

The troublesome steps are:

3) Remove original Microsoft linked account

4) Link local account to Microsoft account if you wish

I was stuck on those 2 steps. I couldn't find a way in Windows 10 to remove the Microsoft account.

Any ideas?
