Ask Apple Support:

As of this reply Apple Accounts cannot be merged. What you must do is ask Apple to deactivate the account that you wish the be deactivated. Then, use the one you desire to use. To get this to successfully be following through with, contact Apple Support (no one here has any access whatsoever to your accounts, and that is a good thing BTW).

Keep Personal Info Off:

There have been posts by people who have contacted Apple Support and they were told that if you delete an ID associated with an email address, you can never reuse the email address for an Apple ID. I have also seen posts that stated Apple told them there was a 30 day waiting period before the address could be used again.You will need to get another e-mail address to use as your Apple ID or you can try waiting 30 days to see if that works.
