How can I delete unknown Apple ID for iCloud?

My new iPad bought through interenet already has unknown Apple ID for iCloud.
I want to use my Apple ID. How Can I delete unknown ID and reset my ID?

If you can't logout via Settings > iCloud > Sign Out (or Delete Account depending upon its iOS version) then you will have to contact the previous owner and ask him/her to remove the iPad from their account via http://www.icloud.com

How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7?

How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7? When I updated to iOS7 it kept my old ID on some features and my new one on others. I was able to change my Apple ID on all apps except iCloud. I don't have the original email account I used when setting up my iPhone with the old Apple ID and I have no clue what the password was. It appears I first need to turn off "Find my iPhone" which requires the old Apple ID, then I can delete the iCloud account. I want to use my current Apple ID to be able to use the "Find my iPhone" feature in iOS7. I hope someone can help!!

That doesn't help. It's an old email that doesn't work anymore. Please read the entire post. iOS7 won't let you delete iCloud unless you have the password for the old/inactive email/Apple ID.
You never mentioned that you didn't have access to that email. There are some specific steps you can perform to retrieve the old Apple ID password.

HT1349 how can i delete an apple id for itunes and install another

Hello, My daughter has an apple id password on my ipad 2 and i wan to delete her account off my ipod 2

I have seen folks report that they have changed the Apple ID in Settings, but when they want to buy something another ID or their old ID appears, so I have always told folks to change the ID in both places, with the proviso that if they see the wrong account to sign out.
I cannot test it here because my two Apple IDs used in the store apps are for two different countries. So when I change the Apple ID in Settings, up pops an alert that the ID that I just entered is only good in a particular country's store and then both the iTunes Store and the App Store apps pop open and make the change. I cannot test what might occur with two IDs from the same country.

HT5622 How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud?

I changed my Apple ID email and it changed for everything but iCloud and now I cannot buy more storage because it says wrong password when really it's the wrong email but it will not let me change it.

To change the iCloud ID 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. 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 iPhone 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. 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.

How can I delete my Apple account

Par for the course with so many companies - "Delete My Account" is virtually impossible to find. How can I delete my Apple account? I don't want yet another account that people can hack and buy stuff fraudulently. Thanks. But really, these companies should be forced to let people know how they can delete accounts if&when they want to.

I wholeheartedly agree. It seems rather pedestrian given that *supposedly* lesser sites/brands allow 'opting out gracefully' at any time - most with the ability to scrub everything clean and start again.
It's annoying enough that Apple fail to contribute much practical help here, but to obfuscate the fact it's also impossible to leave is rather unbecoming to say the least - just see the number of questions on account deletion etc.
So in short then: spending 1000s of $£¥€ or whatever on the 'best tech' on the planet and still no ability to do a basic account closure (or even a trace of Blu-Ray support even)...
Nevermind. Clearly Apple feel that life in "The Village" is just so great that who in their right mind would want to go.
Now repeat after me: "YOU ARE NOT A PERSON - YOU ARE NUMBER SIX!!"
P.S. I wonder what the UK ICO would have to say about this?

You can not delete an Apple account. You will have to use a different email address to setup a new account if they are in conflict with each other.

HT204053 How can I delete old apple IDs

How can I delet old apple I'd so I only have one because it causes problems when downloading apps

The content (music, videos, apps, games, etc) that is aquired with an Apple ID is forever tied to that ID. Apple does not transfer the content of one Apple ID to another ID and Apple does not merge Apple IDs. Unless you wish to abandon all of the content associated with an Apple ID and buy it again with another Apple ID, you should maintain the ID in order to redownload or update the content in the future.
It is not a good idea to make numerious Apple IDs for this very reason.

How can I create an Apple ID for my child without linking it to a credit card?

Hi Kappy..
that did use to be the case but ios 8 you can create a child's Apple ID which will stay linked to the main Apple ID until they are 13 when they can if you wish take over the Apple ID themselves.
I Have the same question regarding creating an Apple ID for my son but it insists I have to add a credit card to prove I'm an adult.
thing is I don't have another card to add to my Apple ID I have been using the same card for all my family's Apple purchases i just update my details when I get issued a new one.
Any ideas or suggestions greatly accepted.
cheers
