See if you can recover the ID/password.


Apple ID - How to find your Apple    An iCloud e-mail address is an Apple ID.

Enter the Apple (iCloud) ID and click Forgot Password.

One option is to delete the apps/purchases made by the other ID and download them using the new ID if desired. If necessary, check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID. 


Purchase History Review.   


Or if you can recover the old ID, you can try to set up Family Sharing  between the IDs to keep access to your purchases.
