Q: I have somehow ended up with an iCloud email acct in addition to my preferred outlook email acct. Can I simply delete the iCloud email acct without disturbing my outlook email acct?

I have recently ended up with an iCloud email acct, and already have my preferred outlook email acct in place as well. Can I simply delete the entire iCloud acct without losing anything from my outlook acct? My storage space has reached it's limit due to iCloud accts, backups, etc, and I want to get rid of it, safely. Do not want to lose my pictures, though. What should I do?

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.0.1

    Regarding pictures, only those in the camera roll are included in a backup.  And aside from using photo stream, photos are not stored in icloud.  Always sync photos to a computer for archiving, not to icloud.

     

    If you don't want to use the icloud email account, just don't use it.  You can continue using the other features of icloud.
