I am trying to figure this out too. I have not traded my xbox in yet and have really been waiting to find out the answer about deleting my info and if I do so would it be possible for the person who buys my xbox to recover my account info.

You can go ahead and delete the info on your Xbox; it is just a file on your hard drive. You can only retrieve accounts if you have the credit card number that was used to pay for XBL.

You can go ahead and delete the info on your Xbox; it is just a file on your hard drive. When you activate XBL on your 360, it cancels out the console you previously registered XBL on. You can only retrieve accounts if you have the credit card number that was used to pay for XBL.

I sure hope so...I didn't think about that before I turned my Xbox in.

Actually thats not true. For those that keep their Xbox, the live account can be used on both systems, just not at the same time. So if you are playing a Xbox game thats not BC, you can still get on live from the original Xbox.

As for the original poster, call XBL customer service and people please always delete your files before trading them or selling them. I always ask my customers who are trading them in if they have XBL on it so I can delete the file in front of them.

I had my xbox packaged up and ready to go when I remebered that I didnt delete anything off my hardrive..so I went back, plugged everything back up and did it.

You never know. Call the support team like they said.

Re: So am I screwed xbox live related...

I had the same issue you did, as far as having a different credit card # and forgetting to put my current card # on my XBL account.

What I wound up having to do was go to my bank and get them to write down what my old CC# was, so I can use that in the account recovery process on the XBox 360.

As for your old XBox....that's a tough call. You MAY want to just call customer service, tell them to cancel that account, and start fresh with a new one.
