Windows Phone Developer Registration

Thanks for reaching out.
The Windows Phone Developer Registration program is no longer active, but the subscription remains linked to your Microsoft account for identity and billing integrity. This is why you cannot remove the payment method directly.

Here’s what you can do:

• Confirm recurring billing is off at https://account.microsoft.com/services.
• Sign in to https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/subscriptions/ and update your account details under My Account.
• If you want to cancel the subscription completely, go to https://partner.microsoft.com/dashboard and create a support request to close the developer account.
• For payment or refund issues, use https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing.

These steps ensure the outdated subscription no longer affects your payment settings.
