How to delete a primary email on Facebook (without access to it)?

There is no direct way for you to delete a hacker's email without the confirmation code being sent to that email address according to the standard settings on Facebook; the security process is designed to prevent this.

How? I go to the I was hacked page, but it just redirects me to a place to change my password, which I can't do because I don't have access to that email.

First you should report to Facebook, then try adding a secondary email and converting that email to the primary email, usually Facebook will require password confirmation.

You’ll need to go through facebook.com/hacked to try and regain full access. Unfortunately, Facebook requires a confirmation to remove the email, so there’s no way to delete it without access. Best to recover the account first or contact Meta support if available.

depending on the type of facebook account, if it is the owner's facebook then you just need to verify the email. If it is not the owner's facebook then I think it is not possible.

You can't delete a primary email on Facebook without access to it. First, add a new email, verify it, then set it as primary. After that, you can remove the old one—if still accessible. If not, contact Facebook support for identity verification.

You can't delete the hacker email without the confirmation code, so immediately change your password, enable 2FA, and report it to Facebook to regain control.

You cannot remove the hacker’s email directly because Facebook requires confirmation. InsGo to facebook.com/hacked and follow the account recovery steps.

I would love to know the answer to that, it happened to one of my accounts, the issue is still not fixed up till now.

The support basically is useless in this case

Facebook always sends a verification code to the current primary email for removal. If you’ve lost access, try contacting Meta Support and submitting a hacked account report - they may manually help you regain control.

Yeah that’s the trap, once the hacker adds and confirms their email, you can’t remove it without access. Facebook sends the code to that email by design. Go to facebook.com/hacked and start the recovery. If you still have your phone or original email linked, act fast, you might kick them out.

Without access to it what do you means you want to hack into it or what

Hey. You’ll need to recover your account through Facebook’s “Forgot Password” or “Hacked” page since they send confirmation codes to the added email. If you can’t access it, report the hack to Facebook for help regaining control.

Try setting your email as your primary email and then deleting their email. If that doesn't work, contact Facebook support for help.

Remove the Hacker’s Email Address:
Since the system sends a confirmation code to the hacker’s email address, it can be tough to remove it directly. Here's what you can do:

Use Facebook’s Help Center: Go to Facebook's Help Center and search for issues related to a compromised account. Select "My Account is Compromised" to report the issue. They may provide a way to remove unauthorized emails or regain control over your account.

Report the Account as Compromised: If you can't remove the email yourself, report the account as compromised to Facebook. To do this:

Go to Facebook's Compromised Account page.

Follow the instructions to secure your account.

If you're unable to log in, you can use the "No longer have access to these?" link to reset your account using a recovery email or phone number.

Contact Facebook Support:
If the above steps don’t resolve the issue, contact Facebook support directly. You can explain that your account has been compromised, and you’re unable to remove the unauthorized email because you can’t access it. They should be able to assist you in regaining control and removing the hacker’s email address.

Visit Facebook's Support Inbox. This may provide you with a direct way to communicate your issue to Facebook support

If you’ve lost access to your account and the attacker added their email, the safest way is to go through Facebook’s official hacked account recovery process: https://www.facebook.com/hacked. It’s currently the only route that lets you verify ownership and request changes without confirming via the attacker’s email.

That’s a tough situation. Unfortunately, Facebook’s system requires confirmation from the email that’s currently set as primary for any removal. In most cases, if you no longer have access to that email, the only option is to go through the account recovery process and submit a hacked account report to Meta directly.
