Deleting an Apple ID and all of the information stored in the cloud

I need to permanently delete an Apple ID that someone has pictures and stuff stored in the cloud of my personal information and I want to make sure they can’t ever access it again

Use the link provided above and request your old AppleID be deleted.


But note there is nothing to have stopped that person from also transferring your data somewhere else either. Since you let that iPhone go with your AppleID signed in, they have the same access to your data as you do. So nothing to stop them from downloading photos (or other data) to a computer drive or another online service.


So simply deleting the AppleID now does not necessarily secure your information. It’s already compromised.
