Is it possible to delete my icloud account?

If you mean from the iCloud server, no: just stop using it. You can remove it from your devices by going to System Preferences or Settings>iCloud and clicking 'Sign out' (on a Mac) or 'Delete account' (on an iOS device).

  • Can you delete an iCloud account from ONE iPhone without it disappearing from another iPhone registered on the same Apple-id/iCloud account?

    My mother and brother made the mistake to connect both their iPhones to the same Apple-id, so a problem came up: All iMessages sent and received from one iPhone are also seen and saved on the other iPhone. My question is if it is possible to delete the iCloud account from one of the phones without it or any data being deleted from the other phone? Thankful for help! / the big sister..

    Yes.

  • How to Delete an iCloud Account's Email (Not the Whole Account, Just the Email)

    Hello,
    A couple of years ago, before iCloud was iCloud and was actually MobileMe, I created my own email on it (an @me.com email) and have had it ever since. Even after it became iCloud, i've kept my @me.com email address and have it to this day. I've used it ever since I created it; however, I absolutely hate using it now, and I really want to just get rid of it. I constantly receive spam messages on it, and I have found Gmail to be a much better email service compared to iCloud. I have been trying to figure out how to delete the email itself and not the whole iCloud account; however, I find it very surprising that I haven't been able to find much information about this at all. I know how to delete the whole iCloud account, but all I want to delete is the email. Is there any possible way to do this? Or is my only solution to delete the whole iCloud account? If I deleted the whole iCloud account, would it affect my Apple ID in any way? If I deleted my iCloud account and it does not affect my Apple ID, then would it be possible for me to delete my iCloud account and create a new one without the email?
    Currently, I only have an iPod Touch 4th Generation running iOS 5.1.1 (I know. It seems very outdated nowadays. ). I also have a Windows 7 computer that I use to access icloud.com, but I don't have the iCloud program actually installed to it.
    Thanks in advance and please help!

    Sorry, but I believe there is no way to properly answer your question.Please start a live chat with Apple for assistance as i believe so their the only ones with the power as so, your email is used for recovery, purchase, and more!If it so changed, you'd need to restart your device, also, your best bet is to just to contact apple also.Didn't help?Sorry!Theres really no way...

  • Can I DELETE an iCloud account associated with my AppleID?

    I have two AppleIDs - one that my wife and I share for purchases (apple ID is a gmail address) and one that I now use for all iCloud activities (@me.com).  I accidentally created an iCloud account while signed in using our shared AppleID and now want to delete that iCloud account to free up the @me.com address to use as an alias on my own @me.com AppleID.  Is it possible to delete iCloud accounts?  Any way to free up that email address I accidentally created under the wrong ID for use on the other account? 

    I'm in the same situation.  I went from MobileMe to iCloud, and when I tried to use my MobileMe sign in, I got the messge that the username and email address was already in use.  I created another one, and had two.  I called Apple Support, and they told me that I had to keep both accounts.  I had yet ANOTHER account for my iTunes, and Support told me that it was ok, if not good, to have separate logins for iTunes and iCloud. Currently, I have THREE iCloud accounts.  If I have my iCloud settings on my phone set to "Mail - ON" my calendars sync up, but I can't receive email from my email account that I use for business.  When I turn Mail off, I can receive emails, but my calendars are empty on the iPhone.  The calendars on my Mac are there, but everything is duplicated at least once.  Quite a mess on both the phone and Mac.  Not a happy camper with iCloud...

  • How do I delete my icloud account on my iphone 5s

    A long time ago I changed my email address. I was able to change the info for my apple ID and everything looked good on my iPad and Macbook (I changed the email address to the new one and was able to store info on the cloud). But for some reason my iCloud account on my iPhone 5s still uses the old email address for my apple ID (and it's just for the iCloud account, whenever I download a new song or app it asks for my new apple ID - with the new email). I have tried to delete this account and start over but I need to turn off "find my iPhone" and the only way to do that is to enter in you apple password. Because the old email does not exist anymore this is not possible and I am unable to delete my iCloud account.
    I hope this makes sense to someone. I would rather fix this at home than drive to the mall and get a genius to fix it. I go to college on Wednesday so I need help now!!!!

    If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How can I delete my iCloud account when it is sending a verification email to an address which is no longer accessible?

    I recently changed my old iTunes User id from an old, defunct, and inaccessible email address to a new and active one.  To do this I went to iTunes 'Manage your Account'.  At the same time, I changed my password, and this has been working fine.
    However, I now need to change my iCloud account, so I read up on it and saw that I needed to delete my old iCloud account and set up a new one with the new iTunes user id.  When I tried to delete the iCloud account, it sent a verification email to the old, defunct email address, and will not allow me to go any further until I confirm the verification.
    The problem is of course that I can't access the old email address to confirm the verification that iCloud has sent to it.
    Solutions already tried:
    Go into iTunes and 'Manage my account' - this doesn't work as there is no option to manage the iCloud account here, only the iTunes account
    Reset the iTunes account to the old email address - this doesn't work, as it still sends a verification to the old email address, and I can't access it to confirm
    Contacting Apple by email - tried this but they didn't seem to have a clue what I was talking about!
    Does anyone out there have any bright ideas?  All welcome!

    Use "Manage your Account" to change the primary email address.

  • How do I delete an iCloud account from my iPad that I no longer know the password for and have no access to the email account to change it?

    How do I delete an iCloud account from my iPad that I no longer know the password for and have no access to the email account to change it?

    You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT569
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • I deleted my iCloud account, but now I can't use Find My iPhone. And I can't setup a new account because it writes that this account was assigned to iCloud already...

    Hi guys. I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5... Its great, I wanted to test out the new iCloud so I enabled it on first iOS 5 setup.
    So now I wanna delete it. So I did. Because my battery just wont work the way it used to on iOS 4.3.5. I guess it tries to connect to the internet so it could auto backup stuff. Well I dont need it. Mainly because I don't want to pay for extra space, and my free 5GB are almost done. Also I rather back it up on my PC.
    I deleted my iCloud account but now I can't use FindMyiPhone! When I connect to the app it wont find my phone. When I enabled iCloud again it worked.
    So I deleted it again and it stoped working again... I tried to setup a new account via MobileMe "Settings> email blah blah blah" and it didn't work because the account was already assigned to use iCloud only I guess...
    What should I do?

    Its solved I just restored it to that point

    you can´t delete an icloud account without using the password.
    if you can confirm that your iphone is not locked to icloud device activation with this AppleID your are not aware and you have no access for - you can attempt to "erase all settings and content" on your iphone, to remove the icloud account from your iphone. all your data will be erased and iphone is set to factory settings

  • How do i delete an icloud account with an expired email?

    Hi,
    I had my icloud account (and itunes account) setup with my ID being an old email which I now do not have access too. It was hacked so I had to delete it.
    I changed the email address of my itunes account without any issues but now that I have changed that email address it means my AppleID is now my new email address as opposed to my old one. The issue for me is the AppleID on my icloud account is still my old email address and because i have changed my itunes account it will not recognise my old AppleID and password. Even if I used the forgot password feature I cannot access that email address any more.
    I went to delete my icloud account on my phone but it would not let me delete it because you need to enter your AppleID and password to confirm its removal. Can someone please help me here! what do i do!
    Thanks!

    Thanks David, I should have mentioned that. The phone itself is not hanging. I can double tap and swipe to close the setttings app. I've also tried restarting and resetting. I just found a discussion about using icloud in general and the problems it's giving people. Seems like several people could only get icloud off their device by connecting to their macbook.  I just got my ihpone 5s and am having syncing issues with reminders, contacts and calendar so I'm going to take it off icloud and see if that helps.
