TS3988 How do I REMOVE an NONEXISTING iCloud account from my iPhone?

A couple of years ago I got my first iPhone, installed iCloud and created an AppleID with the following e-mail [email protected]
Since then a lot has changed including my internet service provider, I now have a NEW AppleID on [email protected]
the iPhone however still insists on [email protected] WHICH NO LONGER EXISTS and there is no password for it.
My FaceTime is happy logging in with the new account details BUT iCloud just refuses to accept anything but the OLD AppleID
I can not change the AppleID because its grayed out.
I can not delete the iClod Account and settings from the iPhone because it will ask me for the OLD password to disable the Find MyiPhone function (which i have already erased from iclaud.com....).
It is pretty annoying to get all the message about iClod being unable to log in, especially since I don't even want to use iCloud any more.
Just want to get RID OF this junk so I can use my phone for what it is intended to call and receive calls.lu
Hope that someone has a solution.
I have tried a number of suggestions from the web, like login on FaceTime and then try to delete the iCloud Account but NO GO. It just asks me for a password to an account that no longer exists.
I would say it is a very bad solution, at least the DELETE Account on the Phone should work without any prompts!
best regards,
Alexander Berggren

What do you mean by removing the account?
An account is just a user neame and password with which you purchase content.
You can go to settings and sign out of the account nd inot another.  This is covered in the manual.

  • How can I remove my old iCloud account from my iPhone 4?

    I recently changed my icloud account email on my mac, but when I try to delete it on my iphone 4, I need to enter a password. But, the icloud account email is still set to my old one, so i can't delete it because there's no longer any matching email and password because I changed it on my mac!! It's driving me crazy! PLEASE HELP

    Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.

    If you mean you have two different icloud accounts, then I don't think you can delete one.  You can just change the account ID on your iphone to the other account.

  • How do I disconnect an old icloud account from my iPhone 5?

    When I bought my iPhone, I did not have an icloud account so I used my sister's account. Now that I have an icloud account, I want to change the old one and use the new, but it shows me that the old account will be eliminated and I don't want to eliminate it; just disconnect it from my phone.
    How should I proceed?
    Thanks in advance.

    Settings > iCloud > Delete account
    It's only deleting the account from that device, not completely.

  • How do I remove an Outlook email account from my iPhone 5?

    I have been trying for months to sync my iPhone mail, contacts and calendars with Microsoft Outlook (Office Standard 2007). Now I find a new "Outlook" account in my iPhone email. I need to remove that Outlook (a new Microsoft email program?) and start over. As long as that new Outlook account is on the phone, my iPhone icon is useless.

    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Select the account then delete it.

  • How do I delete an Apple iCloud account from my iPhone without password, security questions, or email?

    For some reason, an old iD is stuck on my phone. My iPhone 4s is nearly filled with documents and data, to the point where I cannot take pictures, and I can't reset it without using this old iD. I don't know why this is now popping up instead of the one I am registered with. I gained access to the old email the iD is under, but none of the iTunes emails are coming in so I assume it is set up under a different email. For the security question of birthdays, I tried every household member's birthday, and none worked. I have tried the password we used on that account when it was active, along with every other possiblility. I don't know what to do anymore and I have very limited use of my phone if I don't get this sorted out and deleted from my phone.
    Thank you for any help!

    Not without password.

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous owner's password to get permission to use the device. If you cannot get the password your father put on the iPad you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • How can i remove the previous icloud acount from my iphone4?

How can i remove the previous icloud acount from my iphone4? Hope someone could help me on this. Cheers! :)

    Hi,
    My dad gave me his old iphone as he got an upgrade. I can't seem to change his icloud account to mine. I'm getting his updated calender and his mail - and there seems to be some confusion between both our accounts. He seems to be acquiring some of my contacts - some of which have names which have led to some probing questions... So basically this needs to be sorted out! How can i delete his account from the iphone but not his whole icloud account? he would not be happy if i did this...
