Delete an outdated email address from google contacts

When you first create an account for Google services like Gmail, an all-inclusive Google account is created for you by default. Your email address is associated with the Google account as your primary email address and username. If your Gmail address is the primary email address for your Google account, you cannot delete the address without deleting the entire Gmail account. However, if you used a non-Gmail account as your username when you created the original account, you can delete the primary email address associated with the account by changing your username. You can also add and delete alternate Gmail and other email addresses from your all-inclusive Google account.
