How do I delete my iCloud email on my iPad?

I changed my iCloud email address and password on my computer. How do I delete my iCloud account from my iPad? The new password doesn't match the email address currently on it when it asks me to put my password in to delete the iCloud account?

Hello cdsherid01,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to delete your previous iCloud account from your iPad.
If you do not recall the password for your previous iCloud account, use the steps in the following article to reset the password:
Apple ID: If you forget your password

If you have a rescue email setup for your Apple ID, the reset password email will be sent there and not your Apple ID email address:
When you provide a rescue email address, all future security emails, such as password resets from iForgot, will be sent to the address provided.

How do I delete an iCloud account from my iPad that I no longer know the password for and have no access to the email account to change it?

You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.

If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

How can I delete my iCloud email accounts?

How can I delete my iCloud email accounts? I no longer own any apple devices and find that the email is at best unreliable. Also, I am having to deal with a good portion of daily tasteless spam content at the original @me.com address. As I no longer have any apple devices I wouldn't mind having the whole iCloud account deleted. I have already erased all of my information from the icloud.com site.

Then that is all you can do.
You currently can not delete an iCloud account.

TS4002 How do I delete my iCloud email account?

How do I delete my iCloud email account? I do not want it. Apple now is forcing its use where before it was using my Windows Mail. for example, I have iCloud installed on my Windows 8 PC. I am sharing Contacts with my iPads and iPhones. I use to be able to to open Contacts on my PC and click on an email address and the Windows Live Mail program using my primary email account would open to compose and send a message to the Contact's address. Now when I click on an email address iCloud Mail opens. So, I want to delete the iCloud mail account since I will not be using it and hopefully Contacts will again default to my real mail.

Finally, you have answered my question!
I told you that you cannot delete an iCloud email account in my second reply, immediately after you clarified that you were referring to iCloud.com, not the Windows Live Mail application you actually mentioned in your first post. I also provided a link to instructions showing you how to restore the connection between Windows Contacts and Windows Live Mail.
I cannot help but note that it is absolutely absurd to not allow the deletion of an email account in an ISP or Cloud environment.
Tell Apple at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html then. Nobody here can do anything about that.
You don't listen we'll, or read carefully for understanding before jumping to conclusions.
You are unable to describe a problem accurately or coherently, or read and comprehend the simple answers you receive.
I seriously wonder if you knew an iCloud email account could not be deleted.
I seriously wonder if you can read - since I told you exactly that in my second reply.
Rest assured that these exchanges will be brought to Apple Support management attention.
This is a user-to-user support forum. You are not conversing with Apple Support staff here, so their management will not care. However, feel free to show them so they can see how quickly I answered your questions after you clarified exactly what you were asking.
I wish I could offer you personal counseling in an effort to help you overcome these limitations that will likely stifle your career.
Don't worry, I wouldn't accept it anyway, as you have no idea what my career is. However, I do have something that would definitely help you... Go here and treat yourself: http://www.readingglasses.com/

Hi Aurion23,
If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:

How do I delete my icloud email address and create a new one?

You can't, except by creating a new iCloud account. But you can create an @icloud.com email alias address to use that will receive email in your current inbox (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622). (Note: alias addresses cannot later be used to create a new iCloud account, nor can they be moved to another account or be reactivated should you ever delete them.)

How do I delete my iCloud account from my iPad 2 when I don't know the password to that account?

How do I delete my iCloud account from my iPad 2 when I don't know the password to that account?

Try 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 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 iDevice, 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 iDevice 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.

How do i delete my iCloud account from my iPad with an updated Apple ID?

How do i delete my iCloud account from my iPad with an updated Apple ID?
It requires i log into FindMyiPad to delete the iCloud account however the Apple ID has changed therefore the username/password no longer exists.
This is just sending me in circles to log into to a non-existant apple id with no password to delete my iCloud so i can log in with my updated apple ID.

Settings/iTunes and App Store log out then log in with new ID. you might want to change ID in iMessage, FaceTime and Siri and delete the cloud account and create one with new ID. remember apps are forever linked to the ID used to download them and can only be updated with that ID

How can I read my iCloud email on my iPad

How can I access my iCloud email on my iPad? ICloud is functionnal with everything else (calendar, contacts, etc.), but I can't seem to get my me.com emails in my Mail app.
I can get my emails through iCloud.com and the mail app on my iMac, but not on my iPad on IOS 5.1.1
I went through every menu in Settings and can't seem to find the problem...

Mail syncing IS enabled at settings >iCloud. But I don't see my me.com account in the list of accounts under Account >Mail, contacts, calendar>settings.
There is a item named iCloud (that includes email, contacts, calendar and others), but there is still nothing that appears in my mail account...

While you can turn off or delete an email alias that your create, you cannot delete an @me.com or @icloud.com address. You can only choose to stop using it. If you want to stop using iCloud email completely, go to Settings>iCloud and turn Mail to Off.

How do I delete my iCloud email without deleting the files from the server?

I want to delete my iCloud email from a laptop I don't use much anymore. I am afraid if I do all the files will delete from the server as well. Is this true? If not, what are the best ways to go about deleting the account without harming the files on the server (in turn deleting all my email from synced iCloud devices)?

In Mail, delete the account, the server side will not be changed.

How do I delete an iCloud email address that was created under my Apple ID?

I have an Apple ID that is used mostly for iTunes. My son has an iPod Touch and wanted to create an iCloud email address to use on his iPod. We created an iCloud email address through my Apple ID, not realizing that now, every time he sends an email, it arrives "from" my name, not his, as the address is attached to my Apple ID and therefore through my account information. We would like to delete his iCloud email address completely so he can open his own personal Apple ID and recreate his iCloud email address through his own new Apple account. We deleted the account from his iPod and also deleted it as a second email address on my AppleID account information. Yet, despite all this, the email address seems to remain attached to my account. Apple Support website and iCloud support did not give us any ideas. Help!

PS:
since I posted this question (above), I have read many other questions posted and it seems I am not alone. Seems Apple will not allow people to delete an iCloud email address completely from existence! You can delete it from devices but not from the Apple ID account. What a disappointment, really. In my opinion, the "user-friendly" Apple is really frustrating people who simply want to be able to manage their email addresses for various, valid reasons. Email addresses that have been created should be allowed to be deleted by the creator! Other email services allow this!
One idea I have that may help others in my situation: Rather than delete my son's iCloud email address from my Apple ID account, so that his emails come from HIS name not MINE, I might try to just change the name on my AppleID account from mine to his. He can create a new password too. Then, in the future, if I want to recreate my own Apple ID, I will.

How do I delete the Icloud email account

Hello, I am looking to delete my Icloud email account, Please advise

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

How do I delete a icloud email account?

I just set up an icloud email account and realised I misspelt my name in the address..my original primary address is a non apple email account..can I delete the icloud mail address or is it linked forever to my primary address? How do I do it if possible. I'm using an ipad and iPhone linked on icloud..

You can't change the icloud email address without creating a new iCloud account. You can, however, create an alias address with the correct spelling. It will operate just as your current address does, receiving email in your curren iCloud inbox. Just don't ever delete the alias or you won't be able to reactivate it. This explains how to add an alias: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.
