Deleting apple id

I’m wanting to start over on a new device with a brand new Apple ID. So I have a few questions. 1: how do I delete my old Apple ID (want to do so for security since I used a super old email) 2: will I be able to use the same number after I delete my Apple ID. 3: will deleting my Apple ID delete everything associated with it?
