I want to delet the iCloud account but forgot the old accounts password
How do I delete the main iCloud account, I forgot the password and the iCloud is discontinued?
Right, I've got you, I don't have this turned on so hence why I wasn't asked for this.
Not sure if you've seen this or not, but it may help:

How do I stop getting notifications from the wrong instagram account on my iPhone?
Okay. So, I made a second instagram account with my friend for trolling, and I decided I wanted it out of my life, but forgot the password and used a fake email! I have no way of logging on or deleting the account, so I figured I would just forget about it. But after I logged back on to my regular one, I kept getting notifications from the fake account!! I don't know what to do because there are some vulgar things that keep popping up and I just want them gone! :'( Can anyone help??see this support article about A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac

Want to delete all iCloud files but not close accout
I uploaded many items when I first created my iCloud account, but now realize I only want certain items there. How do I delete all my iCloud data without canceling my iCoud account so I can start over?
Simply delete all your contacts from address book, calendars from iCal etc etc, anything you remove from one device will be removed from the iCloud and all other devices.

I was locked out by File Vault. I set up a new account by fooling the notebook it was a new start up. Now I cannot access my old account with all of my files. I can see it in Accounts but it will not let me access. Help
I managed to get a few Time Machine Back Ups before I passed away
I'm not sure whether a ghost can do this, but if you were still alive, you could do as follows.
First make sure you have read & write access to the folder you're trying to restore to. You should be able to see its contents in the Finder, and to move files in and out of it.
This is an exception to the rule that you should never make any changes to backup data. I've tested this procedure in OS X 10.8 only. It should work with later versions, but I don't know whether it works in earlier versions. Use it only for files that were backed up from your home folder, or a folder on another volume created by you, and would normally be writable by you. Do not touch backups of system or application files.
In the Finder (not in the time-travel view), navigate to the backup volume, then to the folder named "Backups.backupdb", and then to the snapshot you want to restore from. The snapshots are folders labeled with the date when they were created. Inside each of those folders is a file hierarchy like the one on the volume that was backed up. Descend through the hierarchy until you come to a folder named "Users," and inside that, a folder with your user name. The procedure will be different if you're trying to restore files on another volume.
Select the folder and open the Info dialog (command-I). Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and authenticate. In the Sharing & Permissions section, give your account Read & Write access. You may have to close the dialog and repeat this step in order for the change to show up. Then click the gear icon and select
Apply to Enclosed Items
from the popup menu.
Try the restore operation again, in the time-travel interface. -
ICloud set up on my IPAD and synched to an IPhone..(not mine)..no success in using "delete this acct" function ...want it gone..How?

i want to delete my iCloud account and get a new one. but i can not delete as it says that my iphone is being restored. could anyone tell me what would be the solution to my problem. i will be thankful to you..
You can go to icloud.com, open Mail, click on the gear shaped icon on the upper right and choose preferences, go to the Vacation tab and set up an auto response saying that the account is no longer in use. Then go to Settings>iCloud and turn Mail to Off on your device and stop using the account.
Incoming email to the account will receive your vacation auto response, and eventually the mailbox will fill up and no longer receive mail at all. -
please help now my brothers contacts has all of my contacts
First, turn off using iCloud for your contacts. Go to:
Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --> (your iCloud account)
Switch "Contacts" to OFF.
You should get a dialog box asking you if you want to keep the contacts on the phone or not -- choose the option to keep them.
Now you can delete the iCloud account but retain the contact information. -
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. -
How can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone
how can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone setting
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). -
My apple id and icloud account merge together, i want to delete my icloud account because of some problems on name so i want to change name or delete my icloud account .
<Subject Edited by Host>You can't delete an iCloud account.
Once it is attached to an AppleID it is attached forever.
You can edit the name on your iCloud account or setup an email alias if you made a mistake with the email address. -
I backed my old iphone up to my computer and bought a new iphone. When i backed my new phone up I now I have an icloud photo (from my computer) album that I want to delete from my phone but I do not have the option. Please help.
If the album was synced to your phone from your computer, it can only be removed by sycing it off. To do this, deselect the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync.

I want to delete several older iPhone backups to the cloud and my computer. I know there is a page to manage this, but I am unable to find it?
david.menzel's response takes care of the iCloud backups. If you have backups to iTunes as well (which I'm not sure whether the "my computer" part of your question is implying or not), you would remove those by opening iTunes, then go to Preferences>Devices, click on the backup you want deleted, then on Delete Backup.

Tell him to contact the Apple account security team for his country and ask for assistance changing the password: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699. If his country isn't listed, he can try contacting iTunes store support by filling out this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.
