May 17, 2016 5:52 PM in response to S@ra1991by S@ra1991,Also, the one I want to delete is connected to my icloud, whereas the one i want to keep is connecting to the app store. Maybe thats how i ended up with 2. Either way I want to delete the icloud email account and then connect my icloud to the app store account as well.

The only item that you have an option of keeping are the Contacts. When you sign out of the iCloud account, you will have the option to keep the Contacts on your device. When you sign in with your iTunes ID, you will have the option to Merge those Contacts with that iCloud account.
Also, any purchases that you made with that iCloud account will forever be tied to it. Sounds like you may not have made any purchases with that ID, so that is good.
So, if you want to change the iCloud account go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and sign out. Then sign back in again with the new ID. If that is the only other place on your device that the old ID is signed in, then you won't be seeing any messages for it anymore.
