I deleted my apps and tried to re download them (docs) although it shows update and not install and when I press the update button it shows that cannot update because it was purchased or updated from another Apple ID what do I do?
An app is forever tied to the Apple ID that acquired it -
An App Store app is forever tied to the Apple ID used to acquire it (paid or free). The Apple ID is encoded into the licensed copy that is downloaded. It is in the copy's DNA. That is the only Apple ID that can redownload or update the app. If you cannot reclaim the old Apple ID, you must reacquire the app with your new one. That means repurchasing paid apps.
