Hello Bubolo,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you'd like to delete an iCloud alias. Follow the steps here to delete an alias: Add and manage email aliases for iCloud Mail on iCloud.com


"Turn off, turn on, or delete an alias

You can turn an email alias on or off at any time. You can also delete email aliases that you no longer want to use. While turning off an email alias is temporary, deleting it is permanent. When an alias is turned off or deleted, email sent to that alias is returned to the sender.

  1. In Mail on iCloud.com, click the Settings button at the top of the Mailboxes list, then choose Preferences.
  2. Click Accounts, select an iCloud Mail alias in the list, then do any of the following:
    • Turn off an alias: Select “Disable alias.”
    • Turn on an alias: Deselect “Disable alias.”
    • Delete an alias: Click “Delete alias,” then click Delete.
  1. Click Done.

Note: You can’t delete or turn off a primary iCloud Mail address. You can’t use an alias to create a separate Apple ID, and an email alias can’t be converted to a primary iCloud Mail address."


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
