Your iCloud is your account. you can't remove one from the other, because they are the same thing. If you removed your iCloud account form the iPhone and as such the iPhone no *** get appears on your device list on iCloud, then you just need to restore the iPhone, and set it up again. That's the normal process. Removing the iPhone from your iCloud account was the correct thing to do.

What did you do exactly?


What do you mean you "deleted your account form your iCloud"? Do you mean you removed your account from the iPhone 6?


Deleting the iPhone would of course require you remove your iCloud account from it. Then it can be setup again, and you can sign in with other account again during setup.


Please explain exactly what is happening, and what you are looking to accomplish.

So I bought iphone 6 for my sister but logon with my icloud. Unkown to her she tried several times to guess the password and the iphone was disabled. I was following some online content on how i can use find my app to erase the content for her to restart the phone but ended removing the account from my icloud. So when i login now, i dont see the iphone 6 as part of my device list. It is still disabled and i need to get a way to fix that for her.
