Can not delete icloud account

My icloud account is set up to my old email address, I have no way of accessing this email account. When I try to delete the icloud account on my phone it asks for a password, but password does not work and when I answer the security questions it says my birthday is invalid. I think this might be because it is an old apple id that probably no longer exists. It wont let me delete the account, turn off find my iphone or change it. Does anyone know what I can do to delete this icloud account and set it up wtih my new apple id?

I finally managed to get my iPhone 'unClouded' by disabling the individual options whist the phone was tethered to my MacBook.
In iTunes itself I then re-enabled the 'old-style' of syncing my address book & contacts to the iPhone, opting to replace the ocntent of the iPhone. (I was 100% sure my MacBook address was OK, and was my iCal in the Mac)
So in short here were the steps:
1. On MacBook, disable all iCould except the 'Find my Mac'
2. Tether iPhone to Mac.
3. On iPhone disable all iCloud (except find my iPhone)
4. In Itunes select the old-style options of what you like to sync with phone
This appeared to work for me.
Also as a plus, my battery life on the phone appears to be back at pre-IOS5. (Still at 100% after 2 hours, not back to the lower 90-ties)

Typo in Apple ID with iCloud. I can not delete icloud account as I can not sign in to sign out.

I have one wrong letter in apple ID associated with iCloud. I tried all the solutions available but nothing worked for me. My iCloud is not verified because i dont have the password for non existing apple id.
1) I changed the country in 'Manage my account' on the apple website
2) I tried resetting all settings
3) but the apple id in iCloud ask for its password.
4) I tried to delete the iCloud account. If I scroll down, I get sign out button. I clicked it. Then I get option ' Delete from iPhone', I clicked it. Then I get a small pop up window saying 'Password Required' - with 'enter apple iD password for "[email protected]" (typo email address) to turn off Find My Iphone'
5) The application forces me to sign in into the non existing apple id
How can I activate/ verify my icloud account with correct apple id?
Your help is appreciated....

Can not delete ICloud email drafts after sending

I can not delete email drafts that showup after sending an email via icloud. Any suggestions?

Hi Joeuscg,
I've had this problem before, and there is a way to fix it!
Mac computer
On a Mac, go to Mail and open Preferences. Go to the 'Accounts' tab and select your iCloud account. Under 'Mailbox Behaviours' you will see a box marked 'Store draft messages on the server'. You need to make sure it is unchecked.
iOS device
On an iOS device, go to settings and go to the iCloud section. Then, tap 'Account' at the top of the page, and scroll down and tap 'Mail' under 'Advanced'. Scroll down again and tap 'Advanced'. Finally, tap 'Drafts Mailbox' and make sure 'Drafts' under 'On My iPad/iPhone/iPod' is selected.
Essentially, the problem is that Mail is saving drafts of your messages to the server as you write them. The problem occurs when you send the message, and Mail then redownloads the draft from the server. By disabling saving drafts to the server, you are stopping this conflict from occuring.
I hope this helps! Feel free to ask if you have any more questions.

Anyone has a solution? Please help... the non delectable IMAP is very annoying.

Can not create icloud account with valid Appleid

Hi, I´m trying to create an icloud account with the Appleid I use with itunes, but I get an error message saying that the Appleid is valid but it doesn´t corrrespond to an icloud account (this is in the icloud control panel). I would appreciate assistance.

You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC by signing with your Apple ID. You can only sign into an existing iCloud account on a PC. You first have to create your iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

Can not delete Guest account. Can you help?

Hi!
I discovered a guest account on my machine which I do not remember creating. It is called "Guest account". I managed to disable it but I cannot delete it because the Minus sign is dimmed.
How do I get rid of this guest account?
Thanks

Hi Nardac,
Not exactly sure what you are trying to say: Yes, the guest account can be disabled and I just did that as mentioned already. As a result it is listed as "disabled" under my main administrator account.
As long as there is listed as an existing account I still believe that it does exist, sorry.
Perhaps a method to delete it does exist, anyone knowledgeable out there willing to share?
Thanks

TS3988 trying to get a icloud account but it keeps saying too many free accounts on my phone, how do i delete icloud accounts?

hi how do i delete icloud account from my iphone 4 as i want my own account but its just telling me there is too many free accounts registered to my phone

You can set up a maximum of 3 accounts with any device. After that all you can do is either re-use one of the accounts already created or set up a new one using another iOS device or Mac running OS X 10.7.4 or later, if you have one. (You can't delete iCloud accounts.)

I am trying to sign in to iCloud and I am informed that my Apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. Can I delete this account and start over?

I am trying to sign into iCloud and I am informed "THIS APPLE ID IS VALID BUT IS NOT AN iCLOUD ACCOUNT". Which makes no sense to me. But in the mean time I have purchased some songs and I can't get them on my ipod nana because I can't sign in. Can I delete this ID and start over?????

OK, I just click the "cloud" in my itunes account and re-synced my ipod nano and I now have the songs I bought, this was really a stupid venture. But I am now enjoying my purchases on my ipod. SORRY TO HAVE TAKEN UP THE SPACE

HT4623 Updating iPad2 to iOS 7, all my photos in camera rolls are gone, can't locate them anywhere?! Were they just deleted, or is there a way to find them? Did not have iCloud account, so not backed-up there.

Just updated our iPad2 to iOS 7, and all my photos in camera rolls are gone, can't locate them anywhere. Were they just deleted, or is there a way to find them? Did not have iCloud account, so not backed-up there.

We're you backing up to a computer using iTunes? If so, restore the backup from there.

I downloaded music from my icloud account on to my iphone and i can not delete them off my iphone

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You cannot. However, you can solve this problem by setting the iPhone as a new device and upgrading iOS in Settings -> Software Update.
After upgrading iOS, open Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. Finally, Setup Assistant will let you restore the backup.
