TS3988 how do I delete an icloud account?

I need help.  My phone was attached to my business.  Now it is not.  My employer is still the account on the icloud.  How can I delete it?  I've tried everything!  When the directions say it changed it - it shows back up.  I want my email and password.

You''ll have to delete your current account and migrate your data to a new one.  To do this start by going to Settings>iCloud and turn any synced data (contacts, etc.) to Off.  When prompted, choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  After everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up a new iCloud account with a new Apple ID and turn syncing back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload your data to the new account.

  • TS3988 How do I delete an icloud account or merge it?

    I set up two accounts for one person by mistake, How can I merge or delete the extra account?

    You can delete an iCloud account on the iOS device (Settings / iCloud) and then enter the new account info.

  • TS3988 how do i delete my icloud account

    Got a new phone, Samsung Galaxy S4. Am not getting any text messages. Apparently I need to delete my icloud account before I can start receiving text messages.

    Going to Support Profile only unregisters the device from the user for warranty information, but not for iMessage.
    This article covers this topic specifically: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5185
    Symptoms
    If you experience any of these symptoms, you may want to deactivate iMessage:
    You can't receive SMS on your non-Apple device when another person sends them using an iPhone.
    You can't send SMS to a non-Apple device because they send as an iMessage.
    Resolution
    If you experienced the symptoms above, your cellular phone number may still be registered with iMessage. When you turn iMessage on with your iPhone, iMessage registers your cellular telephone number.
    To deregister your phone number, tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off.
    If you can't deactivate iMessage after you perform the steps above or you can't access the iPhone, please contact Apple Support.

    You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.

    you can´t delete an icloud account without using the password.
    if you can confirm that your iphone is not locked to icloud device activation with this AppleID your are not aware and you have no access for - you can attempt to "erase all settings and content" on your iphone, to remove the icloud account from your iphone. all your data will be erased and iphone is set to factory settings

    How do I delete an icloud account on my iphone 6?

    Hey Liz, 
    You should be able to sign out of an iCloud account by going to Settings > iCloud and scroll to the bottom and you will see an option to sign out the account. If you have multiple accounts, then you can go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and choose the account and scroll down to the same sign out option.

  • How do I delete an icloud account so it is no longer accessible?

    How do I delete an icloud account from the phone so the user can no longer access the account from phone or anyother device.

    I don't think you can delete an iCloud account once it's created; you can just delete the account from all of your devices and stop using it.  You can also sign into the account on iCloud.com and delete any content (contacts, calendars, etc.) so it isn't available to any device that may sign into it.

    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:

  • How do i delete my iCloud account from my iPad with an updated Apple ID?

    How do i delete my iCloud account from my iPad with an updated Apple ID?
    It requires i log into FindMyiPad to delete the iCloud account however the Apple ID has changed therefore the username/password no longer exists.
    This is just sending me in circles to log into to a non-existant apple id with no password to delete my iCloud so i can log in with my updated apple ID.

    Settings/iTunes and App Store log out then log in with new ID.  you might want to change ID in iMessage, FaceTime and Siri and delete the cloud account and create one with new ID.  remember apps are forever linked to the ID used to download them and can only be updated with that ID

  • Hi. How can I delete my icloud account on my iPhone? I don't have that email address I was using anymore. I tried deleting it but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.

    Hi, How can I delete my icloud account on my iphone? I don't have that email address I was using before anymore and I already tried deleting the account but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.

    Hi ale.vica,
    You need to go to Manage your Apple ID, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, and sign in with your current Apple ID and password and do the following:
    1.     Edit your current Apple ID and change it back to the ID which is displaying for your iCloud account. You do not need to verify it - this is only a temporary change
    2.     Go into Settings>iCloud on your device and delete the iCloud account. Use your current password when your are prompted for a password
    3.     Once the old iCloud account is deleted, go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your ID back to the current one
    4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your current ID and password
    That should take care of your issue!
    Cheers,

  • How can I delete an iCloud account on my iPhone without the password?

    How can I delete an iCloud account on my phone without being able to enter the password?
    The account on my phone is linked to an old email adress that no longer exists and won't accept any of my passwords (although, this account did accept a pasword several days ago to restore my old phone to it's original settings but it won't accept that password anymore...)
    I can't change the password because the first security questions asks for my birthday which it won't accept.
    HELP!

    If your device is signed into your old iCloud ID and you are trying to change it to your current ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go tohttps://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.
