I have purchased Minecraft Bedrock for PS4, and was unable to link my Microsoft account to my PSN with a popup that stated that my Microsoft account has already been linked to another PSN account.
I have never owned a Playstation before, and have never had a second PSN account, so this was clearly a bug.
I have tried clearing the save data for Minecraft, but the issue remained.
The thing that helped me - was to change the Email address of my PSN account and wait 15 minutes. However, I did not have to change it back to the old one - I decided to keep the new Email address.
After you change the PSN Email address, your PS4/PS5 will automatically log you out of your PSN account, and you will have to login again.
I have once again cleared Minecraft's save data, and launched Minecraft (while I was logged out of PSN because of the email change). Within Minecraft, I saw a button "Sign in to PSN" in place of the "Sign in to Microsoft" button. I clicked on that button, and proceeded to log in to my PSN account with the new email from within Minecraft.
After successfully logging into PSN, Minecraft immediately asked me whether I'd like to log in to a Microsoft account, which I did - and this time it actually worked.
