How do i delete an old account when i don't know the password or have access to the email?

it keeps wanting to sign me back into my old iCloud address.. main problem is that the 'find my iPhone' app can't be deleted and changed to the new iCloud because I can't remember the password and the email it's linked to was hacked so I have no access and therefore can't reset my password!? Need to do it urgently now as it's been smashed and going off for repair and they won't repair/ replace it without that app deleted!

If I'm understanding this correctly, you have a broken iPhone that needs repaired, however you need to disable Find My iPhone before the repair can be completed and you cannot remember the password to that account?
First to try on your own, go to iforgot.apple.com. Use the AppleID that was used to set up that iPhone or was signed into iCloud. You will be given a choice of reset by email or security questions. Since the email is out of the question, you'll choose security questions.
If you cannot remember the answers, or more likely how you entered them as the answer are case sensitive, then you'll have to contact AppleCare. They can attempt to verify the account with you, and if they can then send a reset password email to any email address you choose. Just be aware that if you have to use this route, it will take a minimum of 24 hours for the email to arrive. Make sure the email provider accepts email from @id.apple.com.
If you cannot verify the account, then AppleCare can have FMiP removed from that device, but you will have to send in the purchase receipt for that device. It has to be a valid receipt from a qualified reseller, so eBay sales receipts or hand written ones will not work. That process can take up to 48 hours to complete as the FMiP team has to verify all the info. If they can, then they will strip FMiP from the device and assign it to a different AppleID.

How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?

How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?
You need your password to delete it and I need the email address to reset the password. I feel like I'm going in circles!!! Please help!!!

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 shouldn't need to verify the old account). 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 do you delete an itunes account when you don't have the password.

My partner's itunes account was hacked. She cannot get into it. Neither her id nor her password work. Apple has said they will put a "hold" on the account, but this renders itunes useless and it seems you can't start a new (second) itunes account on the same iPad/iPhone/iPod. How can you delete the itunes account altogether so that she can start a new one?

I assume you're using an iOS and not an OSX device here. If not, then let me know.
Go to Settings>Scroll down to iTunes and App Stores>Click Apple ID>Click Sign Out
Then, create a new account on the web and sign in
I hope this works

How can I cancel my icloud account when I don't know the password that it has with my wrong email address?

My IPhone5 wants my password, but it doesn't have the right email address on it. It won't let me delete the icloud because it demands that I give it the password that icloud has stored. Please help!

The iCloud account is your account ? If it's somebody else's account then you will need to contact that person and ask them to remove the phone from their account.
If it is your account then see if you can get the password reset via http://appleid.apple.com
If you can't then try contacting Support in your country and see if they get you access to it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes store in the iTunes application on your computer, enter your password and click the "view account" button. Navigate to the Apple ID summary where you have the option to "change country or region".
In order to change your location, you will need a credit card registered to an address in the location you are trying to change to.
You cannot change your location if you have credit on your account, if you are unable to spend your credit and leave a balance of zero, contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That's simply not possible I'm afraid. You'd need to give them their own account and allowance or make it so you are required to be there to input the password when they wish to make a purchase.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume you are talking about an iCloud account on your device. You can't actually delete accounts, only delete them from your device and stop using them. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

How can I delete my iCloud account when it is sending a verification email to an address which is no longer accessible?

I recently changed my old iTunes User id from an old, defunct, and inaccessible email address to a new and active one. To do this I went to iTunes 'Manage your Account'. At the same time, I changed my password, and this has been working fine.
However, I now need to change my iCloud account, so I read up on it and saw that I needed to delete my old iCloud account and set up a new one with the new iTunes user id. When I tried to delete the iCloud account, it sent a verification email to the old, defunct email address, and will not allow me to go any further until I confirm the verification.
The problem is of course that I can't access the old email address to confirm the verification that iCloud has sent to it.
Solutions already tried:
Go into iTunes and 'Manage my account' - this doesn't work as there is no option to manage the iCloud account here, only the iTunes account
Reset the iTunes account to the old email address - this doesn't work, as it still sends a verification to the old email address, and I can't access it to confirm
Contacting Apple by email - tried this but they didn't seem to have a clue what I was talking about!
Does anyone out there have any bright ideas? All welcome!

How can I delete my iCloud account when I have changed my Apple ID and cannot now sign out as do not have the original Apple ID and password.

I am unable to delete my iCloud account from my device. This is because I recently changed my Apple ID email/ username which now means when I try to delete my iCloud account to log back in with my new Apple ID I am unable to as it requests my old Apple ID username and password which no longer exist. i am on IOS 8.1. Can someone help me find a solution to this?

Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime 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 iPad 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 using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPad 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).
