If I delete my iCloud account, will my original Sprint contacts delete also?

I have 100's of contacts in my iPhone from my Sprint account.
When iCloud happened, additional contacts came into my iPhone from my old Mac Mail address book, which Apple did it without asking.
Now I have a lot of duplicate contacts - many of which have different name configurations.
So, question:
If I delete my iCloud account (I'm switching to Gmail), will ALL the contacts be deleted as well, even the ones I had from my Sprint account?
Because when I choose "turn off contacts" in my iCloud settings on my iPhone, ALL of the contacts disappeared, including the Sprint contacts.  And I need these for making "phone calls", like the old days.
IF deleting iCloud account deletes ALL my contacts, then I have another question:  Can I export my contacts from my iPhone 4 and then RE-import them when I switch to Gmail? 

Moving to Gmail.  I'm done

    The seller needs to follow this procedure:

    If she refuses, then as Tim suggested the iPhone is probably stolen. You'll need to contact your local police department and ask how to proceed.

    If you delete the iCloud account from the iPod yo will be offered the option to retain the data on the iPod. The data is Contact, Calendars and other information listed in Settings>iCod. It does not effect the apps and music and other things on the iPod. For more info see:

  • Help! I am giving away my iPhone 3Gs to my sister along with it's data plan, I want to delete my iCloud account on this phone, will delete my iCloud account too? And what about deleting my personal datas on iPhone, will it delete my data on iTunes?

    Help! I am giving away my iPhone 3Gs to my sister along with it's data plan. I want to delete all of my personal data on my phone, will it delete my data on iTunes too? And same goes for iCloud; I want to delete my acount on my phone because, I guess this is a more convenient way to delete my personal data but I'm not sure if it will delete my iCloud account too or not because I'm getting an iPhone 4S and I'm hoping, the back up data like games & apps and music on my 3Gs will be transfered to 4S.
    Thanks!

    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.

  • 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.

  • If I delete the iCloud account from an iPhone am I deleting permanently or only on the device?

    I am using my mum's old iPhone with her iCloud account. if I delete it from there am I deleting permanently or only on the device?

    I would also like to know the same thing, but according to a post i have about my stolen iphone the responder said you can't delete an icloud account and it will always be in the icloud. below is the answer I recieved about still being able to sign into my icloud account after my phone has been stolen three months later(cause I was led to believe your credentials leave your phone after it is wiped by a thief, therefore one would think you couldn't sign in anymore and still try to track your phone although says constantly offline) but gathering from what this person has said to me it sounds like your just deleting it from the device. I don't know if this answer helps you, but i hope it does
    Your iCoud account remains in iCloud even if your device is restored.  (In fact, you can't delete an iCloud account from iCloud, you can only choose to stop using it.)  If the device is restored, or it may no longer be signed into your iCloud account but your account will still exist in iCloud.

  • If i delete an icloud account off an iphone does it delete the account everywhere?

    No, it won't delete the account anywhere else.

  • If i delete my iCloud account, will my picture be deleted

My iPad is 13 GB, and my moms iPhone is 3GB, but her phone has more apps, that mine, because it wont let me download more because storage??!?!?.. Thank You

    If you use an IMAP connection, the folders you see are just a mirror of what's on the server. Do not delete your account until you copy all the messages from the IMAP folders into (new) Local Folders. Even then, I would be a little nervous. You may want to wait for a Thunderbird expert to offer more suggestions.

  • If I press Delete my iCloud account will it delete everything off my phone?

    I have an iCloud username from like 5 years ago. It was never verified. But my phone keeps tryiing to make it THE iCloud account to use. So I want to switch it over to my current apple ID. So If I press"Delete Account" Is that going to wipe my phone, or enable me to put a new Apple ID on?
    Thanks

    So since it was never verified and I never actually used iCloud, essentially, it wont do anything?

  • I backed up minecraft and I want to sing out of iCloud and if I delete the iCloud account will it delete what I backed up

    Sadly, it deleted my whole calendar, even tho I only used it on the laptop.  I am sure I will be missing documents, music, etc.   I have been using Macs since 1991 and this incident just *****!  I avoided this because I thought this would happen.  I hate to update for this same reason.

  • If I delete my Apple ID account, will my pictures, music, contacts, etc. also be deleted?

    Whenever I try to download or update an app, whether the app is free or not, a message saying that my Billing Information  is incorrect pops up. I go to it and the credit card information is under a nonworking credit card. I do not have the option "None" to select under Payment Information, so I am stuck with this credit card information but cannot download or update any apps. I was wondering if it is best to delete my current Apple ID account and create a new one in order to abandon this credit card, but I don't won't to lose my contacts, pictures, music, etc. Please help!

    Do you have another card you can use? If not, I believe you can switch to the "none" payment option if you edit your billing info on a computer. Scroll down in this article to the bit where it talks about using a Mac or PC to edit your info: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1918
    There is a link for what to do if "none" doesn't show up also.
    Everything in your current Apple ID is permanently connected to it (though you could export contacts & calendar info if needed; apps, music, books, and other purchases are stuck), so you only want to change if you have no other options.

  • What happens if I delete my iCloud account on my iphone ?

    I changed my Apple ID and now my icloud email was not changed , what if I wanted to delete my icloud account will all my pictures and everything in my phone get deleted? I need to change my icloud email ? Should I delete it ? What should I do ?

    When you go to delete the account before it finishes it will ask you if you want to keep the info on this device. You would just tap that and you should be fine.
