How do I delete an old icloud account off my phone if the email address had been hacked and the password has been changed?

My old email was hacked and since then my passwords have been changed. I have a new apply ID which if fine, but my phone is asking me for my old apple ID password before I can delete it from my ICloud. The problem is I cant reset the password and my birthday verification isnt working. I am unable to do anything in icloud because it is forever telling me my password is wrong. my new apple ID seems to be working on every other part of my phone. Any ideas what to do?

Well you can try this, but I'm not sure it's going to work if this is an entirely new ID.
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, 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.

If your device is signed into an old ID of yours 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).

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).

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 do I delete an old icloud account

I forgot my icloud password and want to delete the account which was an alias. How do I go about doing this? Can this be done on my Iphone 4s?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you have lost your password, try using the website iForgot.com
You can't actually delete an account once it has been created, but you can delete it from your device and stop using it. (settings > iCloud, scroll down and delete the account)

How do I delete my old icloud account without a password?

I am trying to trade in my iphone 5 but I need to access my icloud in order to so.

Also I tried to do the security questions but the first one is my birthday and it's not taking it.
