Remove iCloud email

Hello,
I have created a free @me.com email address from my iPad to use with iCloud. Problem is is that it has a typo in the name so I need to find a way I can remove/disassociate that email from my iCloud account so that I can make a new one.
How do I remove or change my iCLoud email account?

I just spent two days working with tech support to get the same answers of it can't be done and there's no way to fix it.  I can' t believe that even Microsoft allows you to do this on their products and this lauded upgrade which give us access to the iCloud doesn't -- email address will change -- hello!  Why would you not allow it to be changed in the settings.   The only positive I got out of the tech support call was that it at least gave me the link to this feedback area so I can vent with everyone else.  Hmmmm, where all my diehard Apple and Mac friends complain about Microsoft and Windows -- I have something to toss back their way.

    Hi waynetey,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues changing the Apple ID on your iPad back to the correct settings, you may find the following article helpful:

  • How can I remove an icloud email address if i have forgotten the password?

    How can I remove an ICloud email address that's on my IPhone if I have forgotten the password?  I have tried to reset the password through Apple ID but I no longer have access to the email address and its not recognising my birthday

    If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases'  - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:

    If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac.

    Hello farahani hairon nizar,
    If your Apple ID was changed from your old account, you may have to change it back to your old account to be able to sign out and then change it back after that is done. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • How do I remove an email address from my icloud memory?

    I would like to remove an address from my icloud memory? For example I will type in the first two letters and icloud automatically brings up that email address.
    How do I remove it or lose it?

    If you haven't already removed the email address from your contacts in cloud, you may want to start there.  If that doesn't work, then you may be out of luck.  Unfortunately, smartphones remember things we don't want them to :-(

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple ID and iCloud email address don't need to be the same, you can't change an iCloud email address.
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

  • I need to change my iCloud email address.  I changed it for my Apple id but I can't log out of iCloud to change it there.  Find my iPad is activated so I can't delete my iCloud account.  I don't have the email address the iCloud login has anymore.

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
