I no longer have a domain with Cloudflare, but the email nameserver still shows Cloudflare. Need to fix the MX record so it points to bluehost and I can receive email on the email account. The domain is no longer on my Cloudflare list. Not sure how to get access to the admin email on the domain now or how to transfer it from Cloudflare where the domain is no longer here?
What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?
Need to access the email MX file to direct it to bluehost.
What feature, service or problem is this related to?
If you don’t want to use ANY of Cloudflare’s services at all, then go to your domain registrar (Bluehost/FastDomains) and change the domain’s nameservers to your host’s own or whatever else you want to use.
Note that Cloudflare doesn’t have any control over this: you can ONLY change the nameservers at the place where your domain is registered, and that is Bluehost/FastDomains.
After changing the nameservers, you can then manage your domain’s DNS records – including the MX record – in that nameserver provider’s portal (again, not in Cloudflare).

But if you want to continue to use Cloudflare to manage your DNS and to protect and accelerate your site while keeping the domain with Bluehost/FastDomains, then go to your Cloudflare DNS page and change your MX records as desired.
To use Bluehost email instead of the current Google Workspace, you’ll need to remove all the 5 Google Workspace MX records and add one provided by Bluehost.
If you don’t find the domain in your Cloudflare dashboard at all, it may be in a different Cloudflare account than the one you’re currently using here.
