If you had Apple delete the ID, those purchases are tied to that 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.

Reading through the article it states you are requesting removal of an Apple ID, but you cannot actually remove it. You are giving Apple permission to delete an Apple ID. However, only Apple can actually remove it. How that gives me greater power over my data someone needs to explain to me.


At some point in the past you could always request that Apple remove an Apple ID, which they would do if the felt there was sufficient reason. Now, you can accomplish the same thing directly. I'm feeling so much more control over my private parts. :)
