Unable to access Apps purchased under an earlier ID/email.
Have changed this - but unable to access those earlier purchases.
How do I delete the earlier email and access those Apps previously purchased?
All downloads are permanently tied to the account that downloaded them, if you have created a new account and want to link your past purchases to it you will have to delete them and buy them on it. Or you continue to use both accounts via Family Share : Family Sharing - Apple Support

If you updated the existing account as opposed to creating a new one, did you also do : What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support ?
My earlier purchases to the earlier ID / email are not accessible after I changed my Apple ID/to my gmail address. they still seem to be linked to that earlier address ? and I don't know how to change them to my new one.
Thanks
Why can't you access them ? You are using the account that they were bought on ? What have you changed ?
I have changed my username ID - to my new gmail address.
I have changed my username ID - to my new gmail address.
I am not sure what I did? I can't remember. I think I may have created a new account - that's why the other one thinks it still exists.
Thank you very much for your help. When you say ...you will have to delete them and buy them on it. Do mean - repurchase them? Pay Apple again for the same content?
If you want them linked to a different account, yes - you can't transfer any purchases between accounts. Or you could continue to use the old account e.g. via Family Share
Delete old email ID in order to access Apps purchased prior.
