Easiest way to change icloud email address
I am trying to change my iCloud email address to a new address, and deactivate the original address. In other words, I'd like to delete an iCloud email address and create a new one without having to delete my entire iCloud Drive. Are there ways to do this? Can I backup all data currently stored in my iCloud Drive to an external hard drive, then delete my iCloud permanently, then create a new iCloud email, then re-upload all my stored data back onto my new iCloud Drive under my new iCloud account?
