Can I delete my icloud email address?

Here's my problem. I was trying to make an icloud email address and i accidentally added the number 4 to the email address. I know this doesn't seem like a big deal but I don't want to use the email address but it won't allow me to delete it in the settings. HELP!? Long story short, I just want to remove this icloud email from my account. What can I do?

Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).


However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.)


You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
