Signing out of my deleted Apple ID in my iPhone 6

I need help signing out of my permanently deleted Apple ID which was still signed in ,in my iPhone 6 iCloud and find my phone. I requested it to be deleted because my password kept failing on my iPhone 6 and am kind of new to iPhone. When I try to sign out, it says Apple ID does not exist and I am not getting any options to recover it. I tried recreating the account but it says my email address is not available. I need your help.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12

Once permanently deleted, no, Apple cannot restore an AppleID. They purge all reference to it from the servers, so there is nothing to restore. That is explicitly mentioned in the privacy site when you signed in to request your AppleID be deleted.

Once You deleted an Apple id then that email address can not be used no more as apple id or connect to an apple id.Take Your proof of purchase from the device and visit an apple store to request unlock or if You within deletion time frame call apple care support with the received code and request deletion cancelation

It was bought in the UK and I am in Zambia. There are no apple stores here and the only stores that sell iphones are third party. I tried the support pages but they say currrently unavailable. What do I do? In the emails, they directed me to links that say the same. Can't Apple restore the apple ID so that I sign it out? I have access to the very email address I used for the apple ID

In your circumstances I don’t know if any way other than taking it and your proof of purchase into an Apple Store to have a technician help with removing the locked account from the device. Given it’s a deleted AppleID I don’t even know for certain they can do so themselves now.
