Merging Apple Accounts or transferring data is not officially supported, nor can it be done easily or completely.

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

Fortunately when you sign out of one ID it asks you in most cases if you wish to retain the data from it on your device. Say yes and then delete individual items you do not want.
