For the app’s, you will need to delete them and re-purchase them with your current AppleID.


As as far as activation lock goes, if you formally requested Apple delete that AppleID and they have completed that, there may be nothing at all they can do to help you remove Activation lock now. As explained when completing the request to delete an AppleID, you must disassociate it by signing out of all services on all devices before it is deleted. After it is deleted, you may find there is nothing that can be done.


How to delete your Apple ID account - Apple Support


  • Make sure that you sign out of all your devices to avoid issues with apps that use your Apple ID account or iCloud. After your account is deleted, you can't sign out of iCloud or turn off Find My iPhone Activation Lock on your devices. If you forget to sign out, you might not be able to use your device when your account is deleted.“

If you are the original owner, take the device, the original purchase receipt with the serial number, and a photo ID to the nearest Apple Store.
