You can delete your Apple ID, but there isn't a need to do that because you lost the phone. 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. 


If you need the phone number to get a verification code, see if anything here helps.  If necessary, you can use account recovery as explained in the link at bottom of the article.

If you can log into your ID once you get the verification code, remove the number you can't remember.
