iPhone asks me frequently to enter a password for an old deleted apple id account. How to fix it?

A few months ago I switched to another apple id account, created a new one, and deleted an old one. But my iPhone asks to sign in to an old apple id though it doesn't even exist anymore. How to stop an iPhone to ask to enter a password from an old deleted apple id account?

Hi EugenTarasenko,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. From our understanding, you are getting a pop up asking for an old Apple ID's password, do we have that right? Was it deleted through Apple or did you create a new one and just no longer use it? Are there apps on your iPhone that were downloaded with that Apple ID? If so, you may be asked to enter the password when the app needs to update. You would need to delete the app and re-download it using the new Apple ID.


How to delete your Apple ID account


Update apps or use automatic downloads


Hope that helps.
