I have an old Apple ID that I want to delete but I no longer have the phone # associated with it and I could not recall the password. What to do? I checked https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208504 but it needs the phone #.

I have an old Apple ID that I want to delete but I no longer have the phone # and the password associated with it.

I checked How to delete your Apple ID account - Apple Support but it needs the phone # that I have lost long ago.

What can I do?

If you find you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery ( How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support ) to regain access to your account. Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity.
