- Log into your Microsoft account.
- Navigate to your order history and pick the preorder or order you want to cancel.
- Click on the Cancel Item button next to your picked order or preorder.

Potential Problems When Canceling Microsoft Orders
You might not see the cancel button if your order has already been processed, billed, or shipped, and you might need to request a refund. Confirm if you need to cancel the entire order or take out a single item and select the cancel button appropriately.
Pre-orders are automatically canceled if Microsoft cannot verify your payment method. Microsoft will email you requesting you to update your payment method and re-order your item.
You can't cancel digital download orders, as you are billed immediately after purchase. You cannot cancel orders for physical products that have been shipped to the warehouse or delivered to you.
Repeated order cancellations might make Microsoft flag your account and make it difficult to make any purchases. If you are canceling due to unplanned orders or a child making orders, you take the following steps to secure your account and avoid unplanned bills:
- Change the payment method linked to your account.
- Cancel recurring subscriptions
- Set up password authentication for every purchase made through your account
- Require parental consent when a child makes any purchase
- Set up passwords to verify purchases on your Xbox One console.
If you cannot cancel an accidental or unauthorized order in your account, you can return the items and ask for a refund or exchange with other products. In an instance where you suspect that someone else is using your account, report to Microsoft to have the security of your account counter-checked.
How Do I Request a Refund From Microsoft?
Microsoft allows returning an item bought accidentally or through unauthorized access and requesting a refund on the same item. However, not all Microsoft items can be returned or refunded.
Digital goods such as add-on content, subscriptions, games, movies, TV shows, books, and apps cannot be returned or refunded. Digital gift cards, service cards, and subscription cards may be eligible for a refund depending on the company's current terms and conditions.
You can successfully return and get refunds on the following physical items:
1. Surface
2. Xbox controller
3. Virtual reality headset
4. Packaged software
To request an item return or exchange:
- Sign in to your Microsoft account and navigate to order history

- Finalize the process
If you cannot access the prepaid shipping return label, contact Microsoft customer care and get assistance.
Microsoft will process your return and refund request within 3-5 business days. For replacements, Microsoft will send your product through the original delivery method.
