You can't delete the account, you can just stop using it (sign out on a Mac, delete account on an IOS device). The account itself will still exist.

  • I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id.  Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id.  How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

    If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current 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 iDevice, 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.  When finished 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.

  • HT4759 How can i delete an old iCloud account and start using my own using my Apple ID? If I don't have the old password??

    How can i delete an old iCloud account and start using my own using my Apple ID? If I don't have the old password??

    If your device is signed into an old iCloud ID that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
    If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going 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.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • How can I delete an old iCloud account for which I do not remember the password?  The email address linked to that account is no longer active.

    The email linked to that account is no longer active.  How can I delete this old account and use a new one?

    Although your profile says you're running iOS 5.1.1 it sounds like you're running iOS 7 (otherwise you would not need your password to delete the old account).  Assuming that's true, and your iCloud ID has changed but you need to delete the old account in order to change to your new one, 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.

  • How can i delete an child iCloud account created in error?

    I was setting up iCloud accounts for my two children today but mistakenly created an extra 'child' (for a non-existent 2 month old) account that i want to delete. How can i permanently delete a child iCloud account?

    You can't delete an iCloud account. You can sign-out, or remove the account from devices, computer or related services.

  • How can I delete & change an iCloud account without the old password?!

    I set-up my iCloud with a hotmail account which is no longer active. How can I delete it?! I do NOT know the password any more and I've written several times to request it with no help from Microsoft. I NEED to restore my 4S but CAN'T without turning OFF the "Find My iPhone" service- blah! I am required to enter the password and have tried EVERY password I've ever used!

    If you can't remember the security questions or the pass code (if you have set up 2 step verification), then your options are your rescue address or in some circumstances a call to Apple, but unless they are able to provide Apple some evidence the account is theirs (which is far from the case so far) Apple won't do anything.
    (which is hardly a 'rescue' address if it can't be used)
    I'm not sure you realise where this is going. It should be able to be used, even if the OP has forgotten the password to that account as well as their password to the Apple ID and all the security questions which are questions about them, there is no reason they shouldn't be able to reset their hotmail address receive the reset mail from Apple and unlock their account.

  • How can i delete an old icloud account

    i have an ipad 2, a while ago i did some updates and somehow managed to create a new apple id and link my ipad to that. i have logged on to apple and changed my user id and password several times. now every time i try and download an app (or try and delete i cloud) it still comes up with the old Apple ID/Email. Does anyone know how i can delete this icloud from my ipad and put the new one on there? i have called apple support 4 times in the last 2 days and no-one can understand why the ipad keeps showing the old account. I have tried restoring ipad that did noting (didnt even delete photos or anything!)

    After restoring you should sign in with your new apple-id. Then the iPad should not know the old apple-id at all. So restore it, set is up as a "new iPad" and you should be good. When restoring from a backup it will automatically restore your old apple-id as that is what was backed up. Also note that if you restore through iTunes, then your iTunes should also be signed into your new account as it will transfer the currently signed-in account to the newly set-up iPad.
    If a restore didn't delete photo's or anything, then is wasn't a proper restore for new, but a restore from backup.
    Note that setting up as a new iPad will delete all your contents.

  • How can i delete previous i cloud account without password

    i bought used iphone4 from local seller, but it is showing previous user icloud account, i have created my new icloud account but i cant delete previous user iclud account and its keep asking password how can i delete previous user icloud account from my phone,thankx

    You cannot delete the account of the previous owner without the password. Please contact your seller in order to get a refund or if you have the contact data of the previous owner then try to contact him to get his password. Unfortunately, there will be no other solution to get your phone properly working again.
