How to delete "reachable at" email addresses?
I cannot figure out how to delete these inaccurate "reachable at" addresses. When I log in to my Apple ID account they have a "?" beside them and not an "x".

Nobody can misspell your name in those addresses. As those are created by you, and only you. So if its misspelled its because you misspelled them when you created them at some point.
Generally if you had a @mac or @me address those are automatically assigned as aliases to your Apple ID.
Otherwise, make sure you don't have any aliases created for iCloud email: Use email aliases on iCloud.com - Apple Support
Yes Phil...
That is what originally happened. But I was able to correct the Apple ID through support. And the “reachable at” addresses changed as well. But at some point, they reverted back to the misspelled ones with no way to add the correct ones. I get an error message saying that it already exists. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Interesting. Outside of contacting Apple Support again, there's no way to fix it from your side.
Its possible they fixed the underlying email address, but the display name might have not been corrected.
If they have a question mark, you can't delete them. You can't remove/change @iCloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com aliases.
Well that’s unfortunate. Because they somehow misspelled my name in them. So they don’t work at all. 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for your quick reply!

You are welcome.
That may be true. I haven’t checked the actual email headers. I’ll look into both of those!
thanks,
David
