[QUOTE="JeffL, post: 1893618, member: 341346"] I need help removing an unwanted email address on an iPhone. My wife has one iPhone (SE 1st Gen), no other devices. When she first got the iPhone we had to choose an email address for her. I can’t remember the exact sequence of events but she has a gmail email address for her Apple ID and an iCloud email address for her day to day use. When we set up the iCloud email address, the first one she chose she subsequently didn’t like so we set up another one which is the one she still uses day to day. We have tried many times to delete the unwanted one without success. Today she received am email to that unwanted email address. It wasn’t a scam as such, I think it was a marketing ploy from some company that has found that address on a list somewhere or it was randomly created. This made me attempt again to remove it from her phone, but it won’t let me! I went to Settings/xxxxxApple ID/Name,Phone Numbers,Email/contactable Edit/this displays her gmail and iCloud email addresses, her mobile phone number and the unwanted email address. There is no red delete button next to it just a lower case i in a circle. When I tap it a message appears “Your email address cannot be removed. Go to iMessage and FaceTime Settings”. I’ve done that but still cannot see how to delete it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
