Cannot delete icloud space

Hello,
I have following problem. I have used Mobile Me a few years before iCloud has started. So after iCloud offered 5GB data for free I have received 20GB for free for first 2 years like a present from Apple (like many other Apple Mobile Me users). So that is why I did not payed really much attention of how many emails are stored in my iCloud account. But after Apple cuts my limit only to 5GB I was announced to delete some of my emails to free up some more space to be able use iCloud for any other things like Pages data etc. That force me to delete all my emails from mentioned iCloud account. So I have deleted almost all my emails from account (Inbox, Sent, Deleted, Archive etc). Then I have checked data on all my devices and there are only something around 30MB but iCloud tells me that is full and I must delet some data to be able to use it. There is nothing to delete and there is no way how to reset the 5GB space limit. So I don't know what to do. Is there anybody who can help me with this? Thank you Jan
P.S.:
I'm attaching some pictures demonstrate the nonsense with data space...

I have left it as it was and the problem was solved approximately 3 month after it occured by itself. So now it is solved but I did nothing for it.

" 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

I want to sign out my icloud account but I can't. When I try sign out, I received notification " Cannot Delete iCloud Account - There was a problem deregistering this iPhone with iCloud. Try deleting your account again"

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!

It still didn't work...
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!!

HT201318 cannot delete icloud backup

So I wanted to get rid of the ridiculous size of the a 5GB backup on my iPhone because I didn't want to take 5 hours to restore my new iPhone. No matter where I go into it from, I cannot delete the photos or even the entire backup because it says it is in use.
Anyone have any idea on how to delete this mess from iCloud and start over with a fresh backup? Or at least get rid of the 4.8GB of photos and videos that have already been offloaded to my MBP?

I knew if I waited this would not be an issue, however, the point was to backup to a new profile so that I could move to my iPhone 5 instead of having to wait for it to download 5GB of photos, when I had deleted them from the old phone and then backed up again, but it wasn't respecting the deletion of data, even after 3 backups.

Cannot delete iCloud calender

I am having difficulty in editing calenders in my iCloud account (via iCloud.com). I have been trying to tidy up my calenders by deleting one or two. Every time I attempt to delete a calender in iCloud I get a message saying "Cannot delete Calender, Server Error Try again later"
I have also tried to delete calenders from my mobile devices with no luck.
Can anyone help?

You won't be able to delete it without the ID and password. If your friend doesn't remember them he/she can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. Then he/she can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.

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 ICloud Account on IoS 7 Upgraded IPhone 5

Hi
I have upgraded my Iphone 5 to IoS 7 and find that my ICloud email address is an old one which I changed from some time ago.
I have tried to delete this account but cannot do so as I being asked for the password for my old email address, which I can't remember.
The problem is that I cannot now set up my Find My IPhone on my newly upgraded phone.
Any ideas how I can delete the old address withouth the password?
My Apple ID and ICloud and Find My IPhone all work fine on my older 4S Iphone and my IPad 2. IoS 7 seems to be the problem. Or is it?
Simple and instant solutions welcome.

Thanks, but I know my current password. The Apple ID website does not help, I'm afraid.
You are referecning the fact that when attempting to connect with your new apple id that you device is asking you for the password to an old Apple id. What you will need to do is to go to my apple id plug in the old apple id and ask it to reset the password to this apple id. Once the password has been reset to the old apple id, you then will be able to provide the password to the old apple id which will result in then being able to provide information required from the old Apple id to then enable your future process.
Good luck.

Cannot delete iCloud account on iPad as it requests password to my previous Apple id

HI
i have changed my Apple ID however the iCloud settings are still fixed to the previous Id. I appreciate that I need to delete the current iCloud account and sign in with the new I'd but I am unable to do this as it requests the password to my old Id account which has an email address that no longer exists.
please help, turning in circles.
regards

Hi Stevenisa
If I am understanding very well, you have changed the Apple ID, and the iCloud settings are still related to the old one. However, you want to sign out from the old one, it's demanding you to put the password.
Your old email address (which is an apple ID) is no longer exist? did you tried to reset the password from the old one?
is the Find My iPhone feature is ON?

Cannot delete iCloud Account or reset Password

Hi,
I'm trying to Delete my old iCloud account off my iPhone so that I can set up my new account.
However, to do so, it is asking me to enter my password (which I have forgot). I've tried resetting my Password using iForgot, but I never receive an Email from Apple (I have checked spam and spam filters). I have also tried the security question but it says my answer is incorrect. Lastly, I have tried the "I have forgotten my Apple ID" route, but I get a message saying that my old account doesn't exist. Therefore, I'm in limbo!
Has anyone else experienced this and if so, is there a way around it?
Many thanks.

How to delete iCloud account, with non-existing email as ID, on iPad?

Cannot delete iCloud account (which happens to have a non-existing ID) on iPad in order to have same account as on iPhone - keep trying using current Apple ID and PW but to no avail - iCloud settings continue to insist that Apple ID/PW is wrong but they are the ones I have in "manage my ID"???

If the ID is your the iPad is signed into is your old ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go 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 iPad on your device, 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. 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.
