Hi there. We recommend following the tips in the [url=https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360048721292-Account-Security-Guide]Account Security Guide[/url] for ways to protect your accounts. If any items or characters were deleted, unfortunately they cannot be recovered. Please review the policies found [url=https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360048717732-Deleted-Item-and-Character-Policy]here[/url] for more information. Regarding the Epic Games account now linked to your profile, to unlink it you must first disable Cross Save. To both disable the cross save and unlink the account requires you authenticate the login for that account. You will need to contact Epic Games Support to see if they can help with that. If that's unsuccessful, then the account cannot be removed by you. Under no circumstances will Bungie forcefully remove or unlink an account. See the [url=https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360049498031-Destiny-2-Cross-Save-Guide]Cross Save Guide[/url] for more info. [edit] Regarding your Bungie Name being changed, players have been given a couple of name changes. If you have another available you can change it to something else. If not, then the name will remain as it is until Bungie decides whether to allow players another name change sometime in the future.
