Minecraft Java account lost

[PinkPanther2335]

Hey guys

I'm in an interesting dilemma, I bought Minecraft java edition a few years back. Think it was 2013. Bought it through the minecraft.net website. In the past 9 years, woah that's long ago, I deleted the Gmail email i used for that account. Now my problem is i can't remember for the life in me what my security questions are. I can't reset them because i don't have access to the email anymore. Can't play anymore, because Mojang transitioned to Microsoft accounts in the past year. I contacted Mojang about it and the only way they could assist me if i provide a proof of payment, only problem is, were talking about 9 years ago and i changed banks in that time. I know it's a long shot, but does anyone possibly have some tips for me? I still have the email and password and that's about it. It's kind of a worst of all situations I'm in haha.

Thanks!

Microsoft took it all over. If you have the proof of purchase on email somewhere or even your username or what the email was support should help you bud.

Microsoft have even been known to give new accounts if you can just prove you used to have one.

The whole move from Java to Microsoft was annoying with many issues.

Can you recreate the gmail account or has it been taken?

Will definitely get in contact with them, last time i tried was pre-Microsoft so i contacted mojang. Will try Microsoft this time.
Thanks!

Tried, it says the account already exists even though it doesn't
