Hi cjteddpc,


It's not possible to deactivate Hide My Email at this time as a feature of iCloud +.


You're not required to use it and you can manage individual website you're using it with if you want here:

Create and manage Hide My Email addresses in Settings on iPhone


Let us know if that helps.


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.

cjteddpc,


You can manage Hide My Email on your Mac and deactivate an email address with these steps:


In Hide My Email preferences, you can copy an address, change labels, create new addresses, deactivate or delete addresses, and select the personal email address you want email forwarded to.

1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Apple ID , then select iCloud in the sidebar.
2. Next to Hide My Email, click Options. If requested, enter your Apple ID password and click Continue.
3. When the Hide My Email window appears, do any of the following:

- Deactivate an email address created with Hide My Email: Select an address on the left, scroll in the list on the right until the Deactivate Email Address button appears, click Deactivate Email Address, then click Deactivate.

Have a look at the 'Manage addresses created with Hide My Email' section here:


Use Hide My Email on Mac


Cheers!
