You cannot remove this new email address, but you can change your profile so that it does not show up in your account.
Here’s how:

  • – On the down arrow to the right of the @facebook.com email adress click the arrow and select “Hidden from Profile”.

  • – Change your default email to “Shown on Profile”

Now you are back to normal again.
