I need to delete icloud

I switched from an iphone to a Samsung galaxy and now I can't receive texts from iphone users. I was told I need to delete icloud. How do I do that?

That's not correct. You have to contact Apple support and ask them to deactivate iMessage for you number. The support for this is free (more information here: Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone).

Need to delete iCloud but email address is deleted

Alright so, i shared an Apple ID with my sister. She changed the Apple ID and deleted the old one. I made a nee account but I didn't delete the ICloud before and I'm stuck with it. i tried signing into the old account but it is deleted. iCloud notifications keep popping up to ask me to sign in and it's very annoying. Is there anyway I can get rid of the iCloud? Once again, I can't sign into the account because the ID was deleted so the password is invalid. Thank you, pleas help soon.

Well, actually you can't delete the iCloud account without her password on your iPhone 5C. You may visit an Apple Store near you, they may have the ability to help you out (make sure you take some 'evidence' with you to show them that the iPhone is yours (such as the receipt)).

Need to delete iCloud Account

Hey there.
I recently decided I want a professional iCloud-eMail Address, i.e. [email protected] and created a new iCloud-Account for it. However, I recently found out about aliases and would now like to delete the pro adress and just add it as an alias, as to get rid of the hassle of logging on and off when using different accounts. As far as I have heard, normally accounts are not being deleted, but I am sure that if there is a reason to do so (as there is one in my case) it is possible. How do I go about this?
Thanks in advance for any helpful comments!

I do not know, if there is a reason for that, but I am sorry that I have to tell you that you cannot delete an address and add it to another account.

Need to delete icloud account, but I changed my email and password

I changed my iCloud login information to my new email address, and now I can't change my iCloud account on my iPhone because it's still using the old email address. When prompted for the password it fails because the ID/email address is no longer tied to my account and is no longer even a valid email address.
How can I change my iCloud account without these credentials?

If the old iCloud ID ("email address") is an earlier version of your current ID, 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 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.

Need to delete iCloud I'd on iPad air but do not know password.

Anyone know how to if I don't have the password or email address? This was created from my MacBook when I bought new iPad air last week. Previously I used this with the iPhone before it was stolen a couple of years ago...

If you do not remember your Apple ID anymore, try to use iforgot: https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid and then reset your password.

Do the alternate e-mail address ends with me.com or icloud.com?

HT204053 I have accidently set up 2 iCloud accounts. I need to delete one so everything is one one. How do I do that? Or at the very least, how do I change ICloud accounts on my iPhone?

Hello,
I just set up my ICloud account and noticed that my iPhone and Mac were not syncing or sharing information. I realized that I have each of them set up under a different AppleID. How do I delete one account so that I can get all my Apple devices on one id?
thank you!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't delete accounts, you can only stop using them.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

I have an old iCloud account on my phone.
This account was set up using an old Apple ID and password.
Since then I've changed both id and password.
In order to delete the existing (old) iCloud account from my phone I need to provide the old password from the old and defunct account.
I don't remember that password.
I've tried resetting it through the support network but to no avail.
I need to delete the old account in order to set up a new one.
Any thoughts?

If the ID is yours but you don't know the password, you'll have to reset it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787). If the ID belongs to a previous ownder of the phone, you'll have to either get the ID and password from them, or have them erase the phone and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.

HT204053 I got a 4s today and used my wife's iCloud to back up to my phone. Need my own iCloud account so as not to down loud or back up all her stuff. How do I delete her iCloud account and create my own?

How do I setup my own iCloud account? I used my wife's but I don't want all the info she has. It appears I need to delete the iCloud first? This is for my new 4S

Go into settings,and there should be a tab named icloud. Click on that and sign in with which ever account you used. Now scroll down and click delete account. Then go back into setting, icloud and type all info for new account.

If they were deleted from your camera roll that should have resulted in a corresponding decrease in the estimated size of your next backup.
If it's still saying that you don't have enough storage to back up, read through this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847. It provides some suggestions for reducing your iCloud storage, such as deleting unneeded email.
The other area to look at is your text messages. These are included in the backup. If you have lots of photos and videos attached to your messages, that can significantly increase the size of your backup. If that's the case, deleting these may make a big difference.

TS4009 My iCloud storage is full and I need to delete some stuff. Can anyone tell me what is important to keep and what not? I have done all I can but it still says I need to delete before I can back up on iCloud.

My iCloud storage is full and I need to delete some stuff. Can anyone tell me what is important to keep and what not? I'm just not sure what I really should back up each night and what doesn't really matter. I know my photo's should back up, but other than that, I'm not really sure.
I have taken some pics off and videos and appt, but it still says I need to delete before I can back up on iCloud. I'm starting to wonder if its a glitch with my personal phone. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Only you can decide what's critical to back up. One option is to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then either delete them from your phone or exclude the camera roll from your backup in settings.
You might try going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll), then look at the size of your next backup. If it doesn't go down significantly, something else is wrong.
