Did you disassociate the mac from your old iCloud account? https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204074

Wanted to do a clean install of a macbook pro and set it up with a new account / no reference to old accounts.
Apple ID appears correct: effectively newcyoa@cyoa.cyoa
but there's an alias of some kind in the "contactable at" section which is oldaccount@icloud.com
I can't for the life of me figure how to delete this. It means the old purchases etc are available in the app store and I don't want them to be.
Thoughts?
I'm running 10.15.4
Currently tried via browser on the appleid and icloud sites. Also via system preferences > apple id
All I want is to be able to:
log into the app store with newcyoa@cyoa.cyoa
only see newcyoa@cyoa.cyoa in Mail
I don't use icloud for ICloud Drive / Photos / Reminders / Safari / Notes/ Siri/ Keychain / Find My Mac / News / Stocks/ Home.
I do use Mail (but don't have to and don't use icloud with it)
I do use contacts (but don't have to and don't knowingly use icloud with it)
I do use Calendars (but don't have to and don't knowingly use icloud with it).
newcyoa@cyoa.cyoa is currently run via gsuite so I use gmail / google calendar / google contacts etc.
Under "contactable at" it reads:
newcyoa@cyoa.cyoa (Apple ID)
+7824 123123 (verified) (I can delete this)
oldcyoa@icloud.com (I can't delete this or interact in any way)
Tempted to just buy a new domain and a new laptop and throw this fucking thing in the fire.
