Q: How can I delete an additional email address from my apple id?

I have an additional email address somehow associated with my apple ID.

 

The problem is I am not able to view that email address in Manage Apple ID page, therefore I cannot delete it.

 

If I use that email address to create a new Apple ID then I get an error "Email address xxxx already associated with Apple ID yyyyy".

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks.

    So it sounds like you are not seeing the ID you want to use for the new Apple ID under the account page, so it might be a Rescue email address. Take a look at this support article under the Rescue Email instructions, and see if that is where that email is stored on your existing Apple ID.

     

    Cheers,
