    Hello Duraanz,

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    To delete an aternate email address which is attached to your Apple ID, please follow the steps below.

     

    Alternate email address

    You can add one or more alternate email addresses for use with Apple services such as Game Center, FaceTime, Find My Friends, iMessage, and OS X notifications.

    1. Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
    2. Select “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
    3. Add an alternate address:
      • Select Add Email Address, then enter your alternate address. Apple will send a verification email to that address. Didn't receive the email?
      • Follow the instructions in the email to verify the address.
    4. Edit an alternate address:
      • Select Edit next to the address, then enter the new address. Apple will send a verification email to that address. Didn't receive the email?
      • Follow the instructions in the email to verify the address.
    5. Delete an alternate address: Select Delete next to the address.
