Deleting the iCloud account only requires you to delete the account, unless you did something you were not supposed to do. This action sounds like you had, or had someone install iOS 7 beta on the device and now you cannot delete the account based on Find My iPhone which is one of the new features in iOS 7. Does this apply to you?

    i want to remove my icloud account

    If you want to remove it from your phone just go to Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account'. If you have set up 'Find My Phone' you will need to sign out using the password. You can't actually remove the account from the server, but you could if you want go to http://www.icloud.com and manually delete any contents there.
    If you have any synced content it will of course disappear from your phone when you sign out.

  • 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?

    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 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?

    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.

  • I want to delete an iCloud account from my iPhone. It says I have to turn off 'Find my iPhone'. I can't do that because the applied on the iPhone is an old one to which I don't have access anymore. What do I do?

    For some reason the iCloud account on my iPhone has reverted to an old Appleid. I now can't get rid of it for the above reason--I can't turn 'Find my iPhone' off since that old appleid is no longer active and I don't have access to the email address since its from an old job. I am in a catch 22. I can't move for

    If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go 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.  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 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.

  • How do I remove an icloud account from my iphone??

    I don't have the password...I set this icloud account when I was in college...I have since set up my icloud account with a more current email contact, but when I synced my new phone it shows the old college email on my icloud.
    I tried to recover my password to delete it from my phone (as directed by other posts) but the apple website does not find the username as it is listed in my phone.
    Any thoughts?

    If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go 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.  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 iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID.

  • I want to change my iCloud account on my iphone and ipad but cannot delete original account as I can't remember password or recovery account email. HELP!

    I need to change my iCloud account on both my iPhone and iPad (used to be a joint account and not in use anymore) but I cant remember the password to delete the iCloud account on either device OR the rescue email to reset password!!!  While I can ask to reset the password I have no idea where the reset email is going!

    If your current account ID is an updated version of this older ID, try the steps in this article in order to delete the existing account: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud.  The last one (change your ID temporarily) will usually work.
    If your current account ID is an entirely new ID that was never previously associated with the old email address, contact the Apple account security team for assistance changing the password for the old ID: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.

  • How do I remove my iCloud account from an iPhone without deleting the account?

    I need to know if there is any way to simply remove it from this iPhone, but not delete it.
    The only button I can see on the iCloud screen at Settings -> iCloud is "delete account".
    As I use this account for both iTunes and iCloud, pressing it is not a risk I want to take.
    Thanks in advance.

    Don't worry - Delete Account just means that it is deleting it from the phone. Trust me I've done it a bunch of times with many accounts and they are all perfectly fine

  • I want to delete my icloud account on the iphone 3

    I upgrade the version of software running on my iPhone 3.  When I did that, I was asked to convert applications to the icloud.  Now I have shared contacts with my daughter's iPod that neither of us want and I no longer can access my music.  I can see the iTunes library on my phone only when I have a cable connected to my computer.  I believe that in order to resolve these issues I need to delete the icloud.  I would like some advise in doing so because I may be adding 2 iPhone 4's to my account soon as well as an iPad.

    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.

  • I want to change the iCloud account on my iPad from mine to my wife's

    BUT I get a message saying that if I delete my account it will remove all data from iCloud! Which is not what I want as I want to continue to use my iCloud on my iPhone and remotely.
    There is no option in settings for changing the iCloud account, so it looks like you need to delete the one you have in there and set up a new one .

    My problem is that when I try to delete (and change) my iCloud account on my iPhone, it wants to delete all the data from my iPhone, which is something I don't want.

    How do I remove an iCloud account without using password?

    There is no way if Find my iPhone is turned on. You must know the Apple ID and password. This is Activation Lock, an antitheft feature of iOS 7. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818

    If my husband add a new iCloud account to his iPhone 5, will he be "locked out" because he's using a new Apple ID to do it? Does he have to use a new Apple ID to create a new iCloud account? He set up his phone using my Apple ID because we didn't know any better. Now we want to separate calendars/contacts, but are afraid of the 90-day lockout.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can change the Apple ID without any problem. On his device, go to Settings > iCloud > Delete account and login with his Apple ID so he'll get his information. iCloud needs an Apple ID, so if he hasn't got one, he must create an Apple ID > http://appleid.apple.com
    When you delete the iCloud account, all the information will be deleted, so I recommend you to turn off each service before deleting iCloud
