So what should be done? Look at following steps for changing your primary facebook email:
- Login to Facebook.
- Go to Account> Account Settings> Under General, look for Email> Click on Edit.
- Click on Add another email> Enter your new email address> Click on Save Changes. New email address should not be associated with any other Facebook account.
- To save these settings, you would have to enter your Facebook password.
- Confirmation link will be receive on your new email address, Verify it.
- Now again go to Email under Account Settings> Select your new email address as primary & if you want to remove old email address, then click on remove.
Note: You first need to set your new email address as primary before removing old one.
