Q: Delete an icloud.com email address
I was trying to set up a new email account for an elderly relative in advance of them getting an ipad for their birthday . I was trying to see the choices of name/address they could have. I was using my own ipad to do it and have created an email account in his name but associated with my Apple ID. Is there any way to delete that email account or am I stuck with it?!
I never really discovered what I also wanted to know. For a new user, can you set up an icloud.com email and then create an Apple ID. I guess not given my experience above!
iPad Air Wi-Fi, iOS 9.3.5

If you created an alias for your Apple iCloud e-mail account, go to iCloud.com/Mail, click the gear at the bottom left, select Preferences/Accounts and you should be able to delete it there.
Create the Apple ID, then the iCloud e-mail account.
