Two-factor authentication

I signed out of my iCloud to do something but when I tried to sign back in it said I need to get a code from a number I don’t remember so I’m stuck out of my iCloud. Is there a way I can delete the account or sign back into it?

Are you in recovery under two-factor authentication. See Recover your Apple ID when you can’t reset your password  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204921which you may need to use.

 

Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity. After you request account recovery, you'll get an email with a confirmation of your request and the date and time of when you can expect to regain access. … When the wait period is over, Apple sends you a text or automated phone call with instructions to regain access to your account. Follow the instructions in the above link to immediately regain access to your Apple ID.


Note that account recovery can take quite a while. The process is automated and the recovery queue can become very stacked up.
