How do I delete an email address that is no longer in use nor it my contact list?

I keep getting email addresses automatically entered when I send email....they are no longer in use or changed,,,they do not show up on my contact list...how can I delete them??

As with the Mail app on a Mac, the iPhone's Mail app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients. The email address autofill feature when addressing an email pulls from Contacts and from the list of previous recipients.
Different from the Mail app on a Mac, there is no access to the list of previous recipients to add a previous recipient to Contacts that is not already entered in Contacts or to remove a previous recipient from the list - not at the present time anyway.

How do I delete my email address that is paired with my Droid and replace it with another email address? thanks!

How do I delete the email address that Veriozon Wireless rep paired with my Droid and replace it with a different address?

The easiest way would be to go to menu>settings>accounts & sync, select the account (I'm assuming you're referring to your gmail account, so select google), then press the remove account button at the bottom. You may lose all your contacts and other data associated with your google account, possibly even your apps, so be aware of this beforehand. You can then add the new account from the accounts & sync menu.
If you are willing to completely start over with your phone, another alternative would be to factory reset it (menu>settings>privacy>factory data reset). This will return your phone to an out-of-the-box condition, and you can use a different gmail address if you like.

HT204053 I have set up a new Icloud ID using a new email address on my I mac however my Iphone Icloud ID is still using an old email address that is no longer in use. How do I change my ICloud ID on my Iphone to that on my IMac computer. I only want 1

How do I change my Icloud ID on my Iphone to match my ICloud ID on my IMac computer? My phone has an old email address that is no longer in use. I have a new email address that I have used as my ICloud ID ( Apple ID ) on my IMac. I want to be able to send photos from my Imac to my Icloud account and see view them with my Iphone. Can you help me ?? Thanks

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
When you do this, you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this happens, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go 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 and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Hello tcnolen1,
It sounds like you are trying to change the Apple ID logged into the iTunes & App Stores on your iPhone. Use these steps:
Changing your Apple ID account
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.
Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account or create a new Apple ID.

How do I delete an email address that cannot be found in my contacts app

An unknown email address always pops up when I try to select a recipient
That email address cannot be found anywhere in the contacts app when I try to get it deleted.
It is an invalid address, as when I sent out a testing email, it was bounced as delivery failed.
Is there a way to delete it ?
Thank you.

No there is no way to delete it. The addresses that the mail app "remembers" have nothing to do with what is in the Contacts App. If you mistakenly typed an incorrect email address at one time in the mail app - it is going to continue to come up as a suggestion from now on. There is no way to remove those short of restoring the iPad as a new device.
