2 Apple IDs - how to get rid of one.

I changed my Apple ID to my new email address a while back on all my devices. However, the old email(which no longer exists) is still listed on FaceTime and iMessage as my Apple ID. How do I get rid of it?

iPhone 6s, iOS 13

Edit iCloud email address I currently changed my Apple ID email address (the address I use to sign in to Apple ID) however the iCloud email address (d*****@icloud.com, d******@me.com) stayed the same. I tried to delete these addresses on my iPad’s setting but it asked me to view the iMessage and FaceTime settings I unchecked these addresses from the list of iMessage and FaceTime but I still can delete these addresses. In fact I don’t really want do delete these addresses but edit them to be the same as my Apple ID address but after seeing that I can’t I tried to delete them. Does anyone knows how to edit or even delete these addresses? this is a screenshot from appleid.com and this from settings

Since changing the ID, have you signed out of Messages/FaceTime, restarted the device, and then signed back in?

No, I haven't. Kind of nervous about doing this. It's probably worth a try. Thanks!
