iCloud account merge?

I do our family IT stuff, and I'm usually pretty good. But a few years ago I screwed up and didn't realize it.

My wife has a gmail account, Firstname.Lastname@gmail.com and she has/had an iCloud account with that email address. At some point, thinking I was fixing something, I unwittingly created her a new one, FirstnameLastname@gmail.com (no period.) From gmail/google's perspective, those are the same email address. But for Apple, they're entirely different and separate accounts. Is there a way to merge or transfer data and delete the account that doesn't correspond to her actual email address?

Look into using Family Sharing to continue to be able to use items purchased with one Apple ID with other Apple IDs.
