How can I change my old Apple ID?

I am having trouble with updating my apps As it’s telling me to sign in a Apple ID that I don’t use or get into no more I currently have a Apple ID for Downloading apps but I can’t seem to update them. I can’t even get in access in that email address as I have forgotten the password my Apple ID has been locked for too many attempts I don’t remember my password for the Apple ID or logging into Hotmail please is there any way i can remove that Apple ID or anything

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 12

Check the App Store and iTunes Store to see if there are any updates for apps/purchases. A request for another Apple ID password is often caused by updates to apps/purchases that were made when using the other ID. Those purchases are tied to the other ID and can't be transferred. One option is to delete the apps/purchases made by the other ID and download them using the new ID if desired. If necessary, check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID.

But the thing is what if I need to update something else it will keep showing that Apple ID that I don’t have any access to as I have forgotten the password too I would like to know if I can permanently remove this Apple ID from my device or try and find a way to change it to my current Apple ID I am using
