I also have the same problem. In my case, only "Edit" button is shown.
I can't believe how terrible Yahoo Mail has become. But with some guess work I'm able to delete it.
Let's say you have two emails: recover1 and recover2
Let's say you want to delete recover2
Right click on "Edit" button and click "Copy Link"
Paste it on text editor. It will look like this:
https://login.yahoo.com/account/comm-channel/refresh?src=ym&activity=ybar-acctinfo&pspid=.. (Removed for privacy and brevity)
Replace "refresh" part with "review/emails" so it looks like this
https://login.yahoo.com/account/comm-channel/review/emails?src=ym&activity=ybar-acctinfo&pspid=.. (Removed for privacy and brevity)
Paste the modified address to your browser and visit it
If the page shows recover1, click "Yes" and it will show recover2
If the page shows recover2, click "No" and follow the next step to delete the account
I hope this helps.

Hi! I'm having PLENTY of problems with Yahoo as well with this only being one of them. After one of my Yahoo accounts was hacked and Yahoo support extremely rudely basically saying that they support hackers by denying ANY help to us actual owners who went to them for help, I'm trying to at least make it harder for these hackers to get into my other account yet none of the things I'm trying seem to work at all! I have no clue why Yahoo has become known as a "major email provider" at all when they don't even manage to get to the same quality of burner email services! For this one, for me, the icon shows and I tried that replacement of URL and none of them see to work. I click the options, it acts as if it worked but the email is still there and linked to my account! I tried editting it into an email I want but again nothing changed. It's like it's now permanently carved into my email! Not going to lie but I'm actually absolutely furious at Yahoo and its team right now and during the past month when I had to deal with Yahoo I've had terrible headaches due to the extreme anger and stress they caused me and if I had the financial means to it, I'd sue them instantly in fact for their failure to provile what they claim on their website. Meanwhile, I moved to other email providers and am still struggling to make that one account that's left for me on Yahoo more secure. I highly recommend anyone who has a Yahoo account not to rely on Yahoo's services at all. I have had 4 Yahoo accounts hacked and taken from me with all my info in them in the past 5 years with Yahoo team being absolutely rude and useless with all of them! That's the complete opposite of reliable. If anyone has a solution to this problem said here, I'll be thankful too.
What you have to do first is to add a new recovery account and verify that new account. only after that would you be given the option to delete the old email.
