If you log into your Apple ID you can access your associated emails by clicking on the "Edit" button next to your account info.

From there you'll see all the email addresses associated with your Apple ID. You can delete them or add new ones here.

Hi kerra130

What might have happened is something I did myself by accident when I was prompted to create a secret email address and is very simple to fix;


Login to your icloud account and go to the settings page

https://www.icloud.com/settings/

click on the manage link under 'hide my email'

From here you should be able to remove the unwanted email address.
