Deleting a second Apple ID

I have no idea when I did this, but I created a second Apple ID using my regular, "grown-up" email address. I found this out because I was trying to change the email address for my original Apple ID from the address I came up with in my early teens. I can't change the email address associated with the iTunes/Apple account I use because it's used for another Apple ID.
Basically, I need to know how to delete my second Apple ID.
Anyone who could help me out?
Thanks.

Phone Apple and ask them to delete it.

How do I delete a second apple ID

I have two Apple ID's how do I delete one of them, it keeps interfering with the Apple Store

You can log out of the currently logged in account on the iPhone by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log in with a different account - but only the account that originally downloaded/bought an app will be able to download updates to it.

How do you delete a second apple id from my computer?

My sister downloaded her apple id on my computer, now my computer asks for her apple id for me to complete my downloads? how do i delete her id from my computer?

Hello javyocks,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Concerning the issue with multiple Apple ID's, please look at the following:
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
Take care,

HT204053 I have one apple id for my iPad and a second apple id for my iPhone and laptop. I just want to use one apple id. How do I delete the apple id on my iPad and make it consistent with the other two devices?

I have one apple id on my iPad and a second apple id on my iPhone and laptop. I want to use one apple id for everything. I tried wiping my iPad and synching it with my laptop. The old apple id still remains on my iPad. I can't get rid of it. Help.

On the iPad open Settings/iCloud and delete the account using the button at the bottom. Once deleted log in using the other account. For iTunes Stores use Settings/iTunes & Apps Stores, tapp on the Apple ID at the top then sign out. Once done sign in using the other account. Once you are happy with the changes plug your iPad into your computer to update the backup.

How do I delete an old Apple ID when I've forgotten the Password

I want to delete an old Apple ID but have forgotton the password. I've gone back to my maiden name and thought I'd delted the old ID but icloud wont sync photostream to my new ID not will my iphone 4 calendar any longer sync to my iPad and I keep getting a box for my old ID but cant remember the password. I've put in every password I've ever used but it says they're all wrong. This is driving me nuts, I swear I'm going to get a Galaxy next and not an iPad!!! I don't have this problem on my lap top.

Photo Stream and Calendar will not sync to your new Apple/iCloud ID. They are tied to the old one. You cannot delete an Apple ID, all you can do is stop using it. However, the iCloud account associated with that ID and all of its contents will not be accessible using that new Apple/iCloud ID - two different accounts.
Also, any purchases you made with the old ID will remain tied to that old ID. They cannot be transferred to a different Apple account.
Your best bet is to go to Manage your Apple ID and change the email address for your existing Apple ID to whatever it is you want it to be (unless it is an Apple Domain email address - @me.com, @mac.com, etc.). However, if you have already used that email address for the new ID you set up, it won't be available to be used for your updated one: Apple - My Apple ID
If you want to use the email address you set up the new Apple ID with, you can contact Apple Support to see if they can delete that new account so you can use the email address you assigned to it:
ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
If you are having issues signing off your old ID because you don't remember the password, you can reset that password by going to the first link listed above and clicking on Reset Password. If you don't remember the answers to your Security Questions, you can contact Apple Support at the second link posted above to have them reset.
Cheers,
GB

Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

`created 2 Apple account, one with non existent E-mail address. How can i delete my fake Apple account?

Hi,
Did some non sense out of ignorance.Created 2 Apple ID account, one with non existent mail. It suddenly coming back to haunt me. Till now everything was ok, was dowlinding lots of apps, music... Now it suddenly swichted to the fake e-mail adress, i'm totally bloqued.
How can i delete this second useless account?

Hello,
You don't need access to the email address to log in to the Apple ID and you can change the email if required.
Assuming you don't need it for any services, as you can't actually delete an Apple ID, log in here (link) and remove all personal details from the page and then cease using that account.

How Do I Delete My Old Apple ID From My iPhone When That ID No Longer Exists?

I moved, and cancled my internet provider, losing that associated email (email #1). It was the same email I used for my Apple ID. At some point in the unknown past, the only other email adress I have (email #2) was also signed up for a speerate Apple ID
I spoke to Apple on the phone, they walked me through changing my Apple ID from email #1 to email #2 and deleting any record of email #1. All worked fine.
But now, my iPhone can't do anything iCloud related because it's looking for my original Apple ID with email #1. I can't download apps, I can't download podcasts and most frustrating, I can not DELETE the old Apple ID without a password, which I've tried but am told it doesn't like it - probabbly because that email doesn't exist in the first place.
So, can I do anything before getting back on the phone with Apple?

I cannot fully uninstall iTunes because I am unable to delete the commonfiles\apple folder

I received error 42404 after updating to itunes 11, and have attempted to follow the instructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925. However, my Vista will not let me delete the commonfiles\apple folder. How can I delete it?
The day of iTunes 11's release, I updated my iTunes, then opened up the prgm to take a look at it. I was immediately brought to the attention that the program didn't install correctly (with error 42404), so I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, with the same error coming up. I continued to use iTunes and see if i could ignore the issue, however I discovered I was unable to log into my itunes acount on the store.
So I followed the isntructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 correctly, deleted the remaining files/folders, except I am still unable to delete the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ folder. I attempt to delete it, it asks me for permission to do so, I say continue, and even after I give it permission to delete the folder, it instantly says to me, "You need permission to perform this action," and it gives me the options to cancel or try again (which immediately brings this same window up again asking me to try again).
I've done plenty of research for the past two days, from attempting to delete the individual files within this folder via the Command Prompt, using Safe Mode, and many other options, yet nothing works. I've seen many forums advise using a program called "Unlocker," however, anyone googling the program will find that it is offered from a plethora of various sites, and I honestly dont trust programs from these sites.
Is there ANYTHING anyone knows to do for an issue like this? All I need is that one folder deleted, and all my problems are gone!

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!!

How can I delete my first apple ID it interferes with apps I want to buy using my iCloud id

I recently had my macbook pro worked on at apple, with great success. I was told I would be able to delete my first apple ID which is a me.com account
I now use I cloud and want the other to go away for good.. But it isn't as they said it would. It interferes with purchases on my I-phone and I don't even remember the password. Is it possible to delete it ? if so How ???

You cannot delete an Apple ID. You can just stop using it. You should change the iCloud Apple ID address you now are using in the device to the new one you wish to use. I suggest you tab Settings > General > Reset > Settings, then reconfigure your phone this time using your new Apple ID.

How do I delete an alternate Apple ID?

I logged into the Manage my Apple ID page on the Apple site and I see several email addresses associated with my Apple ID. I also see an "alternate apple ID" and while I am able to delete or edit the email addresses, I am not able to edit or delete the alternate Apple ID. How can I do this?

You are probably right, (Csound1) I'm over thinking.
But so far seems Imp68, is right, you cannot change it.
I have a University degree in COmputer science, and sometime I make it too complex, being a PC guy new to Mac world.
So how do you disconnect the I-Cloud account? I tried to create a new one, but seems I would also have to create a new Apple ID as well.
Is there something doable to transfer the i-tune purchases and I-cloud space paid fees for the year?
Seems to be killing a mosquito with a hammer, but may be you are right, this is as simple as that...

How do I delete an unknown apple ID?

I have an iPad2 running iOS7.
Someone has set up iCloud using an email address we don't recogonise and a password we cannot guess.
Find My phone is ON.
Question 1. How do I delete this unwanted apple ID and replace it with mine?
Every attempt is twarted by the request to switch off Find My Phone.

With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which makes it difficult for anyone to use or sell stolen iPad.
With Activation Lock, the Apple ID and password of original owner will be required to:
1. Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
2. Erase your device
3. Reactivate and use your device
