Nice to meet you, *****!
Do you mean that you want to delete 2 Facebook accounts and leave only one, then change the email address assigned to that Facebook account?

I would like to delete my FB Yahoo account. I also have a gmail account and an account tied to my cell phone number. I would like to only have the gmail account but most of my contacts are in my cell phone account

author

Okay, got it
Do you have access to all three accounts?

Customer Replay

Yes

Okay
In the case of your Yahoo account, you can delete the account from the account's settings, so you will need to sign into that account to delete it

Customer Replay

ok

author

Unfortunately in the case of two other accounts, there are no ways to merge them, as it goes against Facebook Community Standards to maintain more than one personal account
Do you need to change the email address for your account that is linked to your phone number?

Customer Replay

Yes! I would like to change the email address to gmail. How do I do that since it is tied to my cell phone. Also, do I delete the current gmail account first?

author

What device do you use to access your Facebook accounts?

Customer Replay

Mostly my cell phone. However, I am trying to post a Susan G Komen fundraiser on my page and needs to go through my computer and not my phone

What device will be easier for you to use in order to follow the instructions I will send you?

Computer

Okay
Try to follow these steps in order to add your Google email address to your account:

  • Click your profile picture in the top right of Facebook.
  • Select Settings & privacy, then click Settings.
  • Click Contact in the General tab.
  • Click Add another email or mobile number, then enter your email and click Add.
  • You may be asked to re-enter your Facebook password. Enter your password and click Submit, then Close.
  • When you add an email address to your account, Facebook will send a confirmation email to your new email address. Click the link in your email to confirm that you want this email added to your Facebook account.

Please inform me about the result

You need to log in to your account to manage the settings.
