User level: Level 1 (4 points)I have an AppleID/Apple-account with my hotmail adres as a username. But now I discover that I have an icloudmailaccount with an alias. So that's an alias with @icloud.com, but it's noted as the mainadress.
I don't know how that happened and I can't discover how I can change it. Can anybody help me?

I m not following the issue here since what I am understanding from your description is not possible according to:
What are email aliases in iCloud Mail? - Apple Support which says, “Aliases can’t be changed, transferred, or converted to primary accounts.” I.e., You can't have an alias as your primary address.
More about what you can do: Add and manage email aliases for iCloud Mail on iCloud.com - Apple Support
