How to Delete an iCloud Account's Email (Not the Whole Account, Just the Email)

Hello,
A couple of years ago, before iCloud was iCloud and was actually MobileMe, I created my own email on it (an @me.com email) and have had it ever since. Even after it became iCloud, i've kept my @me.com email address and have it to this day. I've used it ever since I created it; however, I absolutely hate using it now, and I really want to just get rid of it. I constantly receive spam messages on it, and I have found Gmail to be a much better email service compared to iCloud. I have been trying to figure out how to delete the email itself and not the whole iCloud account; however, I find it very surprising that I haven't been able to find much information about this at all. I know how to delete the whole iCloud account, but all I want to delete is the email. Is there any possible way to do this? Or is my only solution to delete the whole iCloud account? If I deleted the whole iCloud account, would it affect my Apple ID in any way? If I deleted my iCloud account and it does not affect my Apple ID, then would it be possible for me to delete my iCloud account and create a new one without the email?
Currently, I only have an iPod Touch 4th Generation running iOS 5.1.1 (I know. It seems very outdated nowadays. ). I also have a Windows 7 computer that I use to access icloud.com, but I don't have the iCloud program actually installed to it.
Thanks in advance and please help!

Sorry, but I believe there is no way to properly answer your question.Please start a live chat with Apple for assistance as i believe so their the only ones with the power as so, your email is used for recovery, purchase, and more!If it so changed, you'd need to restart your device, also, your best bet is to just to contact apple also.Didn't help?Sorry!Theres really no way...

    how to delete an icloud account (Erase, Delete, Remove fromall servers, Purge all data !)?

    Sign out of iCloud (in System Preferences) then sign into the new account. None of your existing data in the old account will be availabe, and none of your purchases will transfer, if that matters make backups before you do this.

    You can't actually delete an iCloud account from the server; just sign out on any devices using it and ignore it in future.
    On iOS devices: Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account'
    On a Mac: System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'

  • How to delete disabled icloud account without knowing the password/email

    Hi
    i just got a pre-used iphone 5S. It has a disabled icloud account. i tried to delete it but it asks me about the password.
    i cant reset the account cause i don't know the email for verification.
    also i can't restore using itunes because it asks to turn off find my iphone feature. and i can't turn it off because the account is disabled
    how can I restore the iphone in this case?

    You can't. There isn't a way to bypass Activation Lock: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695 Your only option is to return the phone if possible. If not, you have a useless device.

  • How to delete an iCloud account and turnoff Find my Phone for a email address that does not exist

    I have switched my itunes account to a new email address but the iCloud account is still registered to the old email account which I can no longer access.
    If I go to Settings>iCloud it requests my Apple ID password for the old email account but as this account does not exsist it does not accept the "old" password. it will not let me delete the account without turning off the Find My Phone app which aslo needs the old password.
    A related probelm is none of my apps will update as they are on the old account hence the need to delete the iCloud email account and create the new iCloud with the new email sign on address.

    If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address (you won't need to verify it) and save the change.  You should now be able to use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID.  After turning it off you can delete the account, go back change your ID back to the way it was again.

  • How to delete/reset iCLOUD with outdated email address/no password

    I am an iPHONE 4S user.  I recently had a problem logging into my iCLOUD account with the password.  After keying in the password it says that the account has been suspended and refers me to iFORGOT.  However the email address used for this iCLOUD account is no longer operative.
    I set up a new APPLE ID and managed to change the iTUNES account to the new APPLE ID.
    However I cant change the iCLOUD account to the new APPLE ID.
    Even when I try to delete the iCLOUD account, it still refers me back to the password and I get stuck there after keying in the password.
    Please help me reset the iCLOUD account. thanks.

  • How to delete an iCloud account off an old phone

    I hope this doesn't sound confusing and that you guys can help. Basically I had the iPhone 4S and when I was due for an upgrade I got the iPhone 5 and gave my old phone to my dad. I deleted all my stuff but forgot to remove my iCloud account so now when he downloads something  or creates a contact I get it on my phone and vice versa. Is there a way I can delete my iCloud off his phone without him losing any of his stuff and also without me losing my iCloud account.

    One of you would need to migrate to a new account.  To, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

  • How to delete friends iCloud account from my devices?

    My friend used my computer to log into her iCloud on messages, online and in every way you can. All of our devices have now synced. She has my bookmarks on safari and I have hers. How do I stop this?

    If it is currently syncing that means the are using your iCloud account.
    Change you iCloud password.  The one you use for iMessage if that one is different.
    If they just got the info from a sync, there's not much you can do it's already on their device.

  • HT4847 how to delete my icloud account from my apple id?

    By mistake i created a icloud mail account under apple id. it is now showing my icloud id under control panel and want to delete it now. how to do that?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    An Apple ID is a username that can be used to do everything with Apple, since you can use either your non-iCloud mail address or your iCloud mail address to log into Apple services they are both your Apple ID's. You can change your non-iCloud mail address but you can't change your iCloud mail address.
