Hey Grannygrampa,


That's a great question! Here's how to manage addresses used with the Hide My Email feature, including how to delete them: Use Hide My Email on Mac - Apple Support

You can copy an address, change labels, create new addresses, deactivate or delete addresses, and select the personal email address you want email forwarded to.

1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click [your name] at the top of the sidebar. If you don’t see your name, click Sign in with your Apple ID to enter your Apple ID or to create one.
2. Click iCloud on the right, then click Hide My Email.
If requested, enter your Apple ID password and click Continue.
3. In the dialog that appears, do any of the following:
