Q: How to delete icloud primary email account

Old icloud account is filled with spam and hackers and stalkers.. got a new icloud account but won't let me replace the Primary one. Apparently, the only way to do so is by deactivating apple ID completely, Still able to open icloud email!!! ((((

Have you tried System Preferences->iCloud->Sign out....and then sign back in?

If it is just the e-mail account, try Mail->Add account....then delete the troublesome account.

HI thank you. It will NOT LET ME or even give me the option. Because it's the primary email address that iCloud offered me
i do have a new Apple id and email alias but I think the only way is to describe the entire original iCloud which I'm trying to also if that what it takes. Thank u for your wisdom. Much appreciated.

marstardust - what exactly can you not do? At which step are you stopped from progress? I recommended both procedures because they are available to me. Where exactly is the process failing for you?
