Q: how do I get rid of old e-mail addresses on my devices?

I updated my e-mail address and changed it from one provider to another. How do I get rid of the old e-mail address in my settings so my devices all back up properly and recognize only my new address?

iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.1

    For iCloud, go to Settings/iCloud and delete the account (at the bottom of the list of options). Then add iCloud back. For iTunes & App Stores, iMessage and Facetime go to the settings for them, log out, and log back in.
