Hi MariaTeresa64,

So you added your desired iCloud email to your dad's account but now want to use it with your own Apple ID.

As the message says when you try to add it to your account, it is already in use. You will need to remove it from his account first at the Manage your Apple ID site.

My Apple ID

I logged into my dad's Apple account and tried to find an option to delete the iCloud email from my dad's Apple ID, but I don't see any option to do that. This is all I see:

You can't delete an iCloud email account from an iCloud ID, or move it to another ID. Can you explain what you are trying to accomplish?
