Hello Escapist!

I'll cut to the chase:

I had an Xbox. I had a live account. I sold the Xbox. I forgot to delete the account from it.
Somebody else used the Xbox. I bought a new Xbox. I recovered my profile.

Will the person I sold my Xbox too still have access to my live profile?

TL;DR, does Recovering a Gamertag make TWO accounts, or does it just move the account to the new console?

Thanks guys

Recovering makes the other account useless, they can still sign into offline, but not on XBL, atleast if I remember rightly.

They can't even sign in to offline. If the console has been online at all since you recovered your gamertag, the old profile is good as dead.
