Today is 2023-09-07 and the waiting period to have my #Microsoft account deleted (they call it "closed", obviously in conflict with GDPR).

Waiting period ended 2023-09-05.

When I try to login today Microsoft asks me if I want to re-open the account:

Reopen account?
You're trying to sign in to an account that's going to be closed on 9/5/2023. You can choose to reopen the account. Or, if you cancel, your account stays marked for closure. Learn more about the effects of closing an account.
What do you want to do?

Can't believe how broken this entire process is. Are there no oversight agencies in germany looking into such things? @Verbraucherzentrale
