Cannot delete iCloud from iPhone

I cannot find a way to delete my previous iCloud account on my iPhone 5s.
I had my iCloud/Apple ID as my undergraduate school email. I no longer have access to that email. I created a new iCloud, but cannot add it to my 5s.
I've tried what seems to be everything, but I cannot verify the old email in order to change it. Furthermore, when I chose "forgot password," it won't recognize my birthday as correct :/. Please help

Try going to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change (even if you don't have access to the account any more). 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 iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.

Cannot delete photos from iphone 5 downloaded from pc. Tried all solutions using Itunes and it doesn't delete them from iphone

Cannot delete photos from iphone 5 downloaded from pc. Tried the ITunes solution and it does not delete the photos. Try a second time and Sync doesn't even start

I see the photos tab and "My Pictures" folder shows. Sync is unselected. It asks if I want to delete the photos when I click on sync and I said yes but it didn't work. It does seem that some photos are removed based on available storage left (decreases). If I select individual folders, subfolders of "My Pictures" then hit Sync deselected Sync doesn't even start.

********Battery back to Normal - Deleting iCloud from iPhone

******** Deleting iCloud from iPhone helped ***********
iCloud is indeed an excellent feature, no denying that. My 3 colleagues too had the same issue, ios5 with iPhone 4 on AT&T , we checked when on 3G( with wifi being turned off) and nothing being running on the phone, the cellular data usage keeps increasing. Phone keeps sending and receiving data on AT&T for no apparent reason. They too deleted the iCloud account and the sending and receiving of data just stopped.
****** This draining of data happens only when connected to 3G ******.
Turning off/ Deleting icloud account on my iphone helped in *my case*. I am not generalizing here but *if possible* give this option a try, One can always turn on/sign back in the icloud account back and continue using the iphone as before. Don't know if it's AT&T issue or iCloud issue.
If and when this is fixed I do plan to move back to iCloud but for now I am glad I found the problem at least in mine and my other colleague's phone and the battery life of course returned to normal. If you are connected to wifi all the time you will never know this issue.
These are the steps to check if iCloud is a issue:
1. Turn off wifi and make sure you are connected to 3G (my case it's AT&T)
2. Reset usage statistics to 0 bytes.
3. check back usage statistics in 5-10 seconds. please note the the numbers don't refresh automatically. Go back to "general" and then back to usage. Give this a try for 1-2 min. If indeed iCloud is the issue you will see the usage increase of the cellular data.
4. Delete iCloud account( you can always sign back in and everything would work like before ) .
5. Reset usage statistics to 0 bytes. You will see the data drain for 10-20 seconds max and then stopped completely.
6. Reset it back to 0 bytes. And you will see it goes back up to 1 Kb and then stops completely.
I was able to replicate this behavior in all the 4 iPhones I saw.
Only option for me is to wait for apple to fix this hopefully in the next version.
Best luck.

its your contacts sync. iCloud has an issue with contacts synching that drains the battery. You will note that your phone has a spiraling synching symbol at the top of the screen next to the Wifi icon - indicates a constant attept to sync your Contacts. Connect to iCloud and make sure it syncs and uploads all contacts to the iCloud. Back up your contacts on your computer anyway or back up your iPhone data including your Contacts, turn off Contacts sync in your iCloud settings and allow contacts to be deleted off your phone. Then turn iCloud sync for Contacts back on and allow it to merge data with the cloud. BOOM - Fixed.

If I delete iCloud from iPhone 4 phone will this delete everything from my new upgraded iphone 5 ?

If I delete iCloud from iPhone 4 phone will this delete everything from my new upgraded iphone 5 ?

No. You can delete your iCloud account from your iPhone 4 and the information will remain in iCloud either through syncing or through a backup.or through both features. Just make sure you have a recent backup.

In iOS8 I receive an "Unable to Download Apps" for apps that are no longer in App Store and cannot delete it from iPhone 6, how do I resolve?

I keep receiving an "Unable to Download Apps" error pop-up on my iPhone 6 for two apps. Neither app is in the App Store anymore. I held down the icon/badge for the app but when I click on the "x" to try to delete the app it will not let me because "" cannot be found. I tried to delete it from iTunes but the only selections I have next to the app are "Install" and "Will Install" but no remove. How do I get these banners to stop appearing and my phone to stop trying to download the two apps?? It is sucking my battery down.

Go into iTunes, create a backup without Apps included, and then use that backup on your phone. Fixed the issue for me, and it didn't even seem to remove the apps like I thought it would. If it does remove the apps you can simply redownload them without too much trouble.

HT204053 how do you delete icloud from iphone my old email was hacked i don't have password?

how do you change your user name in i cloud on my iphone

You have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you delete your iCloud account from your phone, it will only delete photos in photo stream, it will not delete photos in your camera roll or other albums that you have on your phone.

Cannot delete Lists from Reminders app after upgrading to iOS 7. The deal is that those lists don't show in iCloud account in the Web-Browser, so I cannot delete via Browser, when I press the button Edit in the List, there is no Delete button at thebottom

On my iPhone 5, upgraded to iOS 7, the lists in Reminders are impossible to delete. When I press Edit button in the right corner of the app, the button Delete list is supposed to be at the bottom, but it's empty there, the deal is I could delete some of the lists, but most of them I can't. I tried delete iCloud account from iPhone, but they are still there, and still no Delete button. In the Browser I don't see those lists, so cannot delete them from the Browser as well. Could you help me?

Read on another thread here that you now swipe in the opposite direction. Try swiping right to left.

" Cannot Delete iCloud Account - There was a problem deregistering this iPhone with iCloud. Try deleting your account again"! i can't sign out my icloud account

Backup to computer first and sync Apps to iTunes first!
Restore in recovery mode will work, be persistent and retry
Recovery restore challenges
- computer didn't detect recovery iphone, attempted and failed 3 times
rebooted computer then recovery restore worked
- recovery restore was successful, unlocked, and iMessage/Facetime, Find My Iphone, ALL WORKS!
Restore from backup challenges
* Make sure you have plenty of harddrive space!
- have to restore first then restore from backup, i did this incorrectly by restoring from backup and the find my iphone feature got stuck forcing me to recovery restore
- each restore from backup attempt will copy the original backup and create another backup folder. My original was about 10gb, so it copied another 10gb onto my computer's harddrive
- when i restore from backup, my computer ran out of space and errored out/failed.
- I tried again to restore from backup then figured out where the backup data folder was and tried to transfer to external harddrive but not quick enough and failed again.
- finally cleared the extra backup data files and restore from backup was successfull
Missing apps from restore from backup
- Downloaded all my missing Apps from APP store
- I have 300+ apps and there are only 15 screen scrolls, have to organize before apps will populate and load, very difficult to organize now. Wished I had sync Apps first.
Conclusion
This process took me literally 20+ hours to correct and will probably take me few more hours to organize the apps into their respective folders...
At least I got everything to work. Hope this helps!

HT4847 I am unable to delete the last backup from icloud, i checked my all device setting but it still say "cannot delete icloud this time because it is in use,"Please tell me what should i do.

Within this commonfiles\apple folder, there is only one folder, labeled "Internet Services." Within this folder, there are 6 folders, labeled:
APLZOD.resources
BookmarkDAV_client.resources
CoreDAV.resources
iCloud.resources
iCloudServices.resources
ShellStreams.resources
Within all but CoreDAV and BookmarkDAV_client, there are multiple different folders, all labeled starting with a two letter (acronym I believe, for different languages) then .lproj (for example, a folder is labeled "ar.lproj".
In each of the folders of APLZOD.resources, there is a file labeled "APLZODlocalized.dll."
In all of the folders containing the multiple .lproj folders, there are likewise "name"localized.dll files contained.
In the BookmarkDAV_client and Core DAV folders, they each contain only one file, "Info.plist"
I attempted to delete all of these files, and still, the FileAssassin could not delete them. I unlocked one of them for instance, and I tried to delete the file myself (thru windows explorer and just clicking delete), and I still had the same issue of coming eventually to the window requesting me to "try again" to have permission.
What can I do?? I'd like to avoid Unlocker, but if it really is a reliable and SAFE program, and someone knows a SAFE place to download it from, I'd appreciate it very much so!!
thanks!!

Hi there PGMiller,
You may find the information in the article below helpful.

iCloud Notes uses your @icloud.com email account to store your notes. If you don’t have an @icloud.com email address, you can create one by turning on Notes in iCloud preferences on your Mac or in iCloud settings on your iOS device.

Hi,
Do you mean you are not getting SMS text messages now ?
If so start here
Follow the Account management options until you are offered and email contact.
Explain the issue via email as only someone in Support can now remove your iPhone Number from iMessages if it has not "de-registered" itself correctly.
