Windows 10: old account deleted but still issues

I deleted my old Microsoft account as it was compromised. I did this maybe just over a month ago. However I got an email today to say my account might have been compromised. I understand it takes two months to delete my Microsoft account. I had also changed the password on the email registered with the Microsoft account. I am not going to re register my old account to see what the issue is to have to re delete it again and wait another two months . Can someone please explain this to me why I would have gotten this email.
