How do I cancel/delete unwanted icloud email accounts?

I have an iPhone and a PC, which I wanted to synch via iCloud. I went through the necessary steps, and everything worked fine..... the equipment is synced. BUT THERE IS A PROBLEM. The system keeps putting a box on my computer screen that says I cannot do anything (and I cannot remove the box) until I provide a password for an email account (actually two accounts) that I didn't even know existed. One account has my wife's nickname@me.com; the other has my wife's nickname@icloud.com. (Apparently, when they sold us the phones, someone opened these accounts for her on MY phone (accidentally, I'm sure) without showing/telling what he had done.


I MUST GET THESE ACCOUNTS DELETED, but nowhere can I find instructions that will show me how to do it. There's a friendly message telling me that these accounts were automatically reserved for me when I put myself on iCloud..... and the message says that I don't have to use either...... but it doesn't telll me how to delete them so I can start using my computer again.


HELP!

You can Sign in to iCloud on Apple Home Page (At the bottom of the page)


Go to top left corner and choose iCloud Mail, Then click on Operation logo (looks similar to System Preference Logo on Apple IOS devices)on the left bottom corner and choose System Preference. Click on @Account, choose the email account you would like to delete, and click Delete.


You can only delete the iCloud Mail Alias here. If This doesn't solve your problem then you might want to create a new Apple ID and make a new iCloud email account.


Peace
