Sign out of iCloud

"Sign out of iCloud: Hi I’ve just got my new phone I need to return my old one but when I’m trying to sign out of iCloud it just stays on removing iCloud data forever, any suggestions please?"

Wait it out.

Please clarify your post:

How long is "Forever"? Have it been a few hours? A Few Days?

I had the same problem with the "removing icloud data" for hours and finally cancelling the sign off. However once I disabled imessage and facetime and tried again, it all went fine. Hope it helps.
