Q: How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? Because of the update on apple ID, when I try to delete icloud account I have to put in the password, and it says username or password is invalid (because no longer apple ID).
How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? When I try to delete icloud account (in settings-icloud-delete account) I have to put in the password for the apple ID of my old email address, which is no longer my apple ID, and it says username or password is invalid (I'm guessing because that is no longer my apple ID).
iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.2

I realize this is an old post, but I just had this issue and was able to solve it:
1. Settings > App Store and iTunes. Sign out of the old acct and sign in with new
2. Settings > iCloud, scroll to bottom and Sign out
a. When prompted to turn off Find My phone, it'll show your old email address, but enter the changed password. We'd changed the primary email and password for the account, and this changed password worked for the old Apple ID email
3. Sign back in to iCould with the new email and password
