You can't delete an existing account, you can only choose to stop using it. It will still be there should you decide to use it again in the future.

How can I change my iCloud ID email?

How can I change my iCloud ID email?

Please follow these steps in order to change your iCloud ID.
(Please note that @mac.com, @me.com and @icloud.com email addresses as primary iCloud ID could not be changed.)
Start with signing out of iCloud on all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - (iOS: "Settings > iCloud", Mac: "System Preferences > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway).
After that go to http://appleid.apple.com sign in with your current iCloud ID and now change your Apple ID (iCloud ID) to your new email address.
Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.

How can I change my apple ID email address?

How can I change my apple ID email address?

I just did follow Varjak's instruction, but it refused. I was asked to enter my Apple ID's email address which unfortunately is the same as my Apple ID. I created two different passwords for each Apple ID n primary email address when I set up my I tune account in the first place, however.
I do remember my Apple ID password because I have used it every time I installed new apps, but I completely forgot my password for the primary email address because I've never used it at all! I have another email address which I actively use it for all my email. I want to change my primary email address which happened to be my Apple ID as well to the one I actively use.
Because of the explained problem, I can't log in to Icloud as I have been asked to verify by following the instruction sent to my primary email address.
I would really appreciate it if any one can help me solve this problem.
Thank you all.
Suzy

I need to change the iCloud account email address.

I need to change the iCloud account email address as this email is now canceled. Can't seem to find how ;(

If you mean the non-Apple email address which is your login, you can change it at http://appleid.apple.com - click on 'Manage your account'. You can't change the @icloud.com address you set up when you opened the account.

How do I delete my iCloud home email address account?

How do I delete my iCloud home email address account?

If you want to migrate your data to a new iCloud account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

Thanks Lawrence. I've spent over 3 hours on the phone/chatting to online support and none of it seemed to help as it all revolved around resetting emails etc but can't do any of it without my access to my old email. Now my phone won't take cloud because they advised to set up new apple ID and use that, but can't sign out of old one completely. Also doesn't help because my phone and laptop are set up on the old one. Thanks for the help.

Hi! How do I change iphone 4 id (email address ) on the phone?

You can change your e-mail address associated with your Apple ID, what you did is change the Apple ID instead.
All content bought with an Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
Check your Apple ID here: Note: do not create a new Apple ID see above.

How do I change the submit to email address?

I have made a form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro, and initially I wanted the form to be sent to one email and I entered it in, but now that person is no longer accepting the forms and it needs to be routed back to me. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to figure out how to change the submit to email address. Even when I try and make a new form, the other email autofills itself. Any help would be great. Thank you.

Thank you.

HT5312 I changed my email address and apple is ok wih it but iCloud still has my old email address and is not recognising either my original password or my new password. How can I get my iCloud account email address corrected and also get my new password

Hi
I changed email addresses but iCloud sill has my previous address registered. It also is not recognising either my original password or my new password. How can I get my new email address into the iCloud system, and also lodge a new password with them?
I'm using an ipad and all else is ok but not icloud.

Welcome to the Apple community Ross.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

HT201342 How do i Change the apple ID email address used to set up my iPad and iCloud?

I set up my ipad using an @me email address. but most of my data is stored on a separate iCloud account that is linked to a different email address. When I try to change the default address on the iPad icloud, I can't add a new apple ID or email address, and am only shown @me or @icloud in a drop down box. How can I change the setting on my iPad to another apple ID and email address?

If you want to change your iCloud ID to another existing ID you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account.
Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them. To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPad. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
