Email set as a recovery to deleted account
So - I had job-associated MS account and was using it for Office365. However, I do not work there anymore and so my account is no longer exist. BUT! When setting up that account, I used my gmail account as a recovery.
So now I tried to buy Office365 and it says I need to sign in, I tried to create new MS account with that gmail address and guess what - yes, it says this email is registered, it sends me security codes but cannot find the account (of course, it is long deleted as it was managed by my employer).
So - I do not have MS account and cannot use my main gmail email to create one and cannot contact MS support because I need to sign in for that - and cannot find any email I can contact them - so if you have any suggestions - please share them!
