How do i CANCEL my iCloud account? I have searched for this information but Apple is not clear on this process.

You cannot actually cancel a free iCloud account from their servers; all you can do is sign out of it in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud and ignore it in future.
If you have purchased additional storage you can cancel it within 15 days of buying:
Apple have made this as difficult as possible. However two posters have managed to achieve this. Elizellen was able to use Express Lane to get a refund:

However if you use Express Lane may find you cannot proceed without entering a hardware serial number which is still eligible for AppleCare. julia22 managed to find a way round that by phoning them - please see this post:

it gives the USA number - if you don't live there you will have to find an equivalent number from the 'Contact Us' link at bottom right of this page.
If it is more than 15 days since you purchased the storage you cannot cancel it for a refund; you can downgrade your plan as from your next renewal date. Please see
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmd602084a
and expand 'Downgrade your storage for the next plan year'.

How can I cancel my iCloud account???

How can I cancel my iCloud account???

The iCloud account is your account ? If it's somebody else's account then you will need to contact that person and ask them to remove the phone from their account.
If it is your account then see if you can get the password reset via http://appleid.apple.com
If you can't then try contacting Support in your country and see if they get you access to it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
(For info this is the Using iPad forum.)

To the best of my knowledge you have now unfortunately blocked yourself: you can't cancel an iCloud account and as you've got the address there you can't add it as an alias, and I don't know of any workaround for that.

Remove an iOS device you no longer have
If you no longer have the iOS device because you gave it away or sold it, you need to remotely erase it before you can remove it.
Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices, then select the device.
Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.If the device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it’s online. You’ll receive an email when the device is erased.
When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.All your content is erased and someone else can now activate the device.

How do I cancel my iCloud account on an iPhone i recently sold ?? They can't do anything with my phone until I get out of iCloud and I have no idea how to. Thanks

How do I cancel iCloud in iPhone that I already sold to someone. The phone was busted so I sold it and I had no way to get on it

Hi! I may have a solution for you
This will involve erasing all data on the phone so make sure the buyer knows that the iphone will start erasing itself during this process
First, Make sure the buyer has turned on the phone and connected it to wifi
Log into https://www.icloud.com/
Click Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices, then select the device.
Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.
When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.

How can i cancel my icloud account ?, been slugged $25 and never used

How can i cancel my unused /un -required icloud account ?, just been slugged a service fee of $25

You mean you never created an iCloud account in the first place? How were you 'slugged'? - was this in the form of an email? Does it look genuine? You could copy and paste its contents here for examination but remove any personal data such as your email address.

HT4436 How do I cancel an icloud account

I opened an icloud account on my iphone 4s as I missunderstood the application. I thought it gave extra storage of data (duh)
I have no use for icloud as I have no other devices to send information to
I contacted the call centre to tray and cancel the payment within the cooling off period but the call handler was unable to do this for me and said I had to do this online. Apple seem to make it very elusive to establsh exactly where/how to cancel accounts once created
Help please!

How do i cancel my icloud account? I keep getting billed.

I keep getting notices that I'm being billed monthly for an icloud account. When I try to downgrade/cancel, I just keep getting rerouted on the apple site. How do I cancel and stop getting billed?

How are you trying to downgrade it ? You should be able to do it via Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup on your phone : iCloud storage upgrades and downgrades - Apple Support
1. If you're using iOS 8, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage. If you're using an earlier version of iOS, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
2. Tap Change Storage Plan.
3. Tap Downgrade Options and enter your Apple ID password.
4. Choose a different plan to use when your current storage plan expires.
5. Tap Done.
If that isn't working and you have a Mac then you can do it via System Preferences > iCloud on it.
Or contact iCloud Support : http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/

How do i cancel my icloud account

I canceled it off each of my devices. Now I want to cancel the account altogether. Music keeps showing up tagged in my itunes store with the cloud next to it. Also, it is still on my computer. I don't want to use icloud. It did not work the way I wanted and it just complicates things.

First go to Settings>iCloud on your device and confirm that everything is turned to Off, and that you are not syncing any data with iCloud before proceeding. (If you are, when you delete the data from iCloud it will also be deleted from your device and it will be lost.)
Then go to iCloud.com on your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on the red ribbon at the top to display your groups, click on All Contacts, to the right click on any single contact to select it,click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
For Calendars, open your calendar on icloud.com, click Edit above the calendars list on the left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
For Notes, open your notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click the trash can icon at the bottom to delete it.
For Reminders, open them on icloud.com, click on each reminder, click on Details to the right, then click on the track can icon to delete it.
For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click a folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then click on the trash can icon at the top. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the upper right and select Empty Trash.
That's about it.

Keeping current plan, but downgrading when it ends:

My IPhone5 wants my password, but it doesn't have the right email address on it. It won't let me delete the icloud because it demands that I give it the password that icloud has stored. Please help!

Sign out of the account you do not wish to use, sign into the one that you do wish to use.
