Updating apps with new Apple id

I cannot update my what’s app as it is tied to an old Apple ID. I cannot access the email for the old Apple ID. Can I delete the old app without access to my old Apple ID?

App Store App updates: The App id (my current email) in my settings is correct, but when I go to the App Store to process updates it pulls an old Id (email address) that was deleted long ago. And I can not figure out how to correct this. i have 12 apps that require updates and I cannot log into them because of the old user Id.
