Why do you think you need to delete the ID?


Another option is to deactivate the ID.

All purchases made using an Apple ID are tied to the ID. Delete the ID and you will need to download them using your new ID. You will also lose access to most of your data. Make sure you sign out from the places in the 4th link before deleting the ID.
