I have been trying to get my sky.com email address deleted for about 13 years!!! When I cancelled my contract with them all those years ago they told me my email account would be deactivated within 6 months. I've tried leaving it for over a year and ended up having to delete thousands of emails!!!
and the emails take up unnecessary space in my iCloud.
If the emails are in your iCloud you must have specifically set it up to do so.. They are normally only stored on Yahoo's servers,, if you don't look for them you will never know they are there.
Yep, same here. Moved abroad many years ago and found I could no longer access emails except when I returned to the UK. Meanwhile, the account received hundreds of spam mails and it appeared that somebody was giving that email address to all and sundry - whether by design or mistake I have no clue. I see it as a security risk.

Well it could be anyone you've given your email address to, or any email you've replied to. The vast majority of spam arises from user activity, either on the Web or via email.
