How can I completely delete my iCloud account?

Hi,
I had a MobileMe account that I transformed into an iCloud account. Let's call it [email protected]
But I've also created another iCloud account, let's call it [email protected] It's still active but no longer used.
Today I've downloaded Messages for Mac, and when I want to add my Gmail address as an address that can be reached for messages, I get the following error: http://cl.ly/2b2r0q0W123Q3q10003u.
Fair enough, but now how can I delete my iCloud account using the Gmail address in order to use it whith my other account?
Thanks!

As your Gmail address is an Apple ID of itself you cannot associate it with another Apple ID. I'm afraid you will have to find another way round this: you could set up another email account to associate with the @me.com ID and if you want, forward messages to that on to the Gmail account.

We use our Iphones with the icloud to set up scheduling of jobs. Multiple phones share the same icloud for this purpose. We recently had a change in leadership. How do I completely delete the icloud account? Or do I just create a new one/forget old 1

Multiple phones share one Icloud account. We use it to schedule jobs and crew leaders read the cloud to get the information of the job that needs to be done. However, we recently had a change of leadership and we think this person might have logged into or put our cloud on his phone to sabotage our business. I changed the password but that didn't fix the situation. I could put a job on the cloud with an old phone that was logged in with the old password and everyone with the new password would still see the job. I have since created a whole new cloud account which seems to have eliminated the "future" issue of sabotage however I would like to completely eliminate that old account...any advise?

Everyone needs to go to Settings (or System Preferences)>iCloud and click 'Delete account' or 'Sign out' as applicable (it's the same thing). Then they can sign into the new account you have created and proceed from there. You can't actually delete the old account from the server but you can just ignore it.

How do i change my iCloud account on my iPhone? I want to change it to my husbands so all of our information syncs, but will this completely delete my iCloud account? and by doing this how will my phone change (such as contacts, photos etc.) ?

I want to change it to my husbands so all of our information syncs on to my iphone and our ipad, but will this completely delete my iCloud account? and by doing this how will my phone change (such as contacts, photos etc.) ?

Bad idea.
What information do you want to share, exactly? You can share contacts, reminders, and calendars with other iCloud users without the need for both of you to use the same iCloud account. You can authorize both phones to use apps purchased under the same Apple ID without sharing an iCloud account.
Sharing an iCloud account is a bad idea in general. There is too much opportunity for someone to damage or delete data that will affect both.

How can I access my parents iCloud account remotely to assist with photo management and printing?

How can I access my parents iCloud account remotely to assist with photo management and printing?

I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.

Why can't I delete an iCloud account, I think we should have that option, this is ridiculous.

I worry about my information floating around some server through Icloud when I don't want it there. Apple should provide a way to completely delete an icloud account from everywhere - devices, the web etc. If I had known that I wouldn't have this option, I would have never signed up for one considering all the trouble icloud has caused me. It keeps losing my contacts etc. Am I the only one that is annoyed and frustrated by this?
I can delete an account from my iphone 5s but not from the internet. ***?

You can't delete the actual account. In part this is probably to prevent the address from becoming available again and someone else grabbing it and pretending to be you. You can go to the website and delete all your data there so that it's empty, and then just ignore it.

TS3988 how can i merge my two icloud accounts information

How can I merge my two iCloud accounts information

Apple doesn't provide a direct merge operation but you can connect in one account, disconnect but keep the data on the device, then connect with the other account and merge the data.
Details...
When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.
When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.
After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, log into the other iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to this new account.
Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc. Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there. These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
NOTE: Photos in the first account's photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the other account. It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch.

How can i turn off the iCloud account.

How can I turn off my ICloud account?

Go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted.
If you want to keep photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account. If you want to save synced notes, open them and email them to yourself. You will be given an option to either keep or delete the rest of your iCloud data from your device when you delete the account.

How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?

How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?

As currently designed, you cannot. Once iCloud detects you are on mobile Safari, it switches you to the iPad screen.
If you had another browser that would allow you to pretend you were a desktop Safari client, ie8 or 9, or Firefox, that might work.
But, Puffin and Opera mini don't work.

Since you can't delete Apple IDs and having multiple Apple IDs can cause confusion, what you may want to do is rename your existing Apple ID to the new email (desired Apple ID). That would in effect do what you want, get rid of the old and give you the new.

I watched TV shows in my iPhone, deleted them, but still occupy space in my iPhone! How can I completely delete them?

I purchased and downloaded 6 episodes of a TV show. I watched them all, then deleted them from iPhone and iPad to free up the space.
The videos are removed from iPad completely, but when I sync the iPhone the purple bar in iTunes indicates that I still have all the 6 videos! The size of the 6 files and the size of the 6 videos the purple bar indicate are the same. I am not syncing TV shows (Sync TV show isn't selected whenI sync the phone with my computer). How can I completely delete them?
Nothing appears in Videos, usage/videos!
I can't click any TV show to watch in iTunes app either even if I find the same TV shows.
I have no propblem with iPad, but problem is only with iPhone.
The videos are not HD.
Any suggestion to free up the space?
Thanks!

How can I completely delete an app, so it won't even be listed in the app store under purchased items? And I will stop being prompted to make updates even though I've removed it from my iPad?

How can I completely delete an app, so it won't even be listed in the app store under purchased items? And I will stop being prompted to make updates even though I've removed it from my iPad?

Once an app is deleted from an iOs device, you will no longer be prompted for updates. Update alerts only occur for apps curently installed.
Purchases can be hidden (but not completely deleted) from the purchased list, but only using itunes on a computer.
