I deleted my apple id and its stuck on my iphone

I had my Apple ID deleted for a reason but when it got deleted it was still stuck on my iPhone and now I can’t download anything. I’ve tried to delete everything off my phone and to make my phone as new but I can’t even do that because they need my Apple ID password but since it is deleted it doesn’t work and it says “ person not found”. It would be great to get some help thank you.

There is nothing you can do, and Apple will not be able to do anything for you either. You were instructed to be sure to sign the AppleID out of all services before it was deleted. Once it is deleted, there is no fix if you did not sign it out beforehand. There is no way to remove that AppleID from your device(s) now that the account with Apple has been deleted.


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, contact Apple. Apple may be able to remove the Activation Lock if provided the required paperwork. Since you deleted the ID, they may not be able to remove the ID. Either take the device, the original purchase receipt with the serial number, and a photo ID to the nearest Apple Store (if it has reopened)
