You may have one or more users on your account with the same email address set as their login. Each user that needs a login should have their own unique email address so that they are able to access their user account and make any changes.
To make changes to a user account, including deleting the account, without affecting the other account(s) sharing the same email address, you'll need to (1) remove the email address from the account first to separate it from the other account(s); and (2) add a new email address to the account.
Note: You can also use this method to reset an email address if you are unable to change it.
