I want to completely delete an icloud account
How do I delete an icloud account?
You can delete it from your devices, but not from iCloud. You can only choose to stop using it. If you want to delete all the data in the account, see my post here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21224118#21224118.

I want to change it to my husbands so all of our information syncs on to my iphone and our ipad, but will this completely delete my iCloud account? and by doing this how will my phone change (such as contacts, photos etc.) ?
Bad idea.
What information do you want to share, exactly? You can share contacts, reminders, and calendars with other iCloud users without the need for both of you to use the same iCloud account. You can authorize both phones to use apps purchased under the same Apple ID without sharing an iCloud account.
Sharing an iCloud account is a bad idea in general. There is too much opportunity for someone to damage or delete data that will affect both. -
How can I completely delete my iCloud account?
Hi,
I had a MobileMe account that I transformed into an iCloud account. Let's call it [email protected]
But I've also created another iCloud account, let's call it [email protected] It's still active but no longer used.
Today I've downloaded Messages for Mac, and when I want to add my Gmail address as an address that can be reached for messages, I get the following error: http://cl.ly/2b2r0q0W123Q3q10003u.
Fair enough, but now how can I delete my iCloud account using the Gmail address in order to use it whith my other account?
Thanks!As your Gmail address is an Apple ID of itself you cannot associate it with another Apple ID. I'm afraid you will have to find another way round this: you could set up another email account to associate with the @me.com ID and if you want, forward messages to that on to the Gmail account.

Multiple phones share one Icloud account. We use it to schedule jobs and crew leaders read the cloud to get the information of the job that needs to be done. However, we recently had a change of leadership and we think this person might have logged into or put our cloud on his phone to sabotage our business. I changed the password but that didn't fix the situation. I could put a job on the cloud with an old phone that was logged in with the old password and everyone with the new password would still see the job. I have since created a whole new cloud account which seems to have eliminated the "future" issue of sabotage however I would like to completely eliminate that old account...any advise?
Everyone needs to go to Settings (or System Preferences)>iCloud and click 'Delete account' or 'Sign out' as applicable (it's the same thing). Then they can sign into the new account you have created and proceed from there. You can't actually delete the old account from the server but you can just ignore it.

I want to completely delete a email account from my iMac.
It seems that the details are still there in the background and when I reset the account it defaults to some of the previous settings
Hi Robbie,
The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, or a server end problem.
If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.
In Mail>Preferences>Accounts, if you really want to delete it, highlight that one then click the tiny minus icon below. -
I want to completely delete a mail account so I can reactivate it
Mail has lost one aol account password and I can't delete it and reinstall it as it says:The AOL IMAP server “imap.aol.com” rejected the password for user “[email protected]”. I have seen that to take it online again I may need to re open the account. I can't do that because it won't recognise my password.

How can i delete the icloud account on my old phone without deleting it on my new one.
I now have an 5s and gave my mum my old 4s but when she deleted contact she didn't want, it removed them off my phone.When I logged into my icloud on the PC the contacts had all gone from there too. Luckily they are on my daughters mac.
If I delete the icloud on the 4s will it delete everything on mine and completely delete my icloud account alltogether? How can I remove this phone from my icloud ?Deleting the account from one device will not affect the other at all.

Why can't I delete an iCloud account, I think we should have that option, this is ridiculous.
I worry about my information floating around some server through Icloud when I don't want it there. Apple should provide a way to completely delete an icloud account from everywhere - devices, the web etc. If I had known that I wouldn't have this option, I would have never signed up for one considering all the trouble icloud has caused me. It keeps losing my contacts etc. Am I the only one that is annoyed and frustrated by this?
I can delete an account from my iphone 5s but not from the internet. ***?You can't delete the actual account. In part this is probably to prevent the address from becoming available again and someone else grabbing it and pretending to be you. You can go to the website and delete all your data there so that it's empty, and then just ignore it.

On my iPad I have a working icloud that I have complete access to, but on my iPhone it keeps asking me for the password for it, but I do not know it! And the email that I used is not activated anymore! How do I delete the icloud account on my phone?
Hi Aurion23,
If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:

I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?
You would have to delete the existing iCloud account and create a wholly new one - you cannot change the @icloud.com email address of the one you already have. To make a new one, you will also need an new AppleID as any AppleID can only have one iCloud account associated with it.
Deleting the account will not delete anything off your device (if prompted for things like contacts, choose to keep them). You will have to sync everything anew with the new account as you cannot move your sync'd content, your old backups or anything else from one iCloud account to another. You will have to set up sync again and let it sync to the new account, and then make new backups to the new account as well. -
I just got a new iphone 5C. I am trying to clear my old phone and delete the icloud account. BUT on my old phone in the icloud settings it is still wanting to use an old email account that is no longer active, therefor it wont allow me to sign in and delete the icloud account. and it wont let me change my email address to my apple id that is current. suggestions?
Go to Settings, and then turn iMessage and FaceTime on if they are off. If they are on, then turn them both off, restart the phone, then turn them back on.
Go back to Settings > iCloud. Whether the current or old email address is displayed there, try your current password. -
I made a new Apple ID and I want to delete my iCloud account on my iPhone, will it delete only documents or data or it will reset my whole iPhone, like deleting my apps, contacts. Please I need your help.
All you have to do is this: Sync your 3GS to create a current backup. Then either: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings or restore it as a "New" device in iTunes. Both accomplish the same thing, erasing all of your data & settings from the phone. You can now give it to your sister, she can plug it into her computer, name it what she wants & sync her content to it. You then restore your 4S from the backup of the 3GS you created when you started. Follow this by syncing your content to your new phone & your 4S will look just like your 3GS.
