Hello ~If you are trying to zero your balance before changing regions…you may purchase an item from the App Store for more than your balance and the remainder will be billed to your credit card on file thus zeroing your balance . You may also go to lower left hand corner and click on Support and they can zero it for you or:


Contact Apple for support and service


Also if you are changing regions take a look through this article as well:

To change the country associated with your Apple ID and achieve a balance of $0.00, follow these steps:


1. Ensure no active subscriptions: Cancel any active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID, as they may cause a remaining balance. You can manage your subscriptions by going to the "Subscriptions" section in your Apple ID settings.


2. Spend remaining account credit: Use any remaining balance on your Apple ID to make purchases from the App Store, iTunes Store, or Apple Books until the balance reaches $0.00. This can include buying apps, movies, music, or eBooks.


3. Set up a payment method with no balance: Add a payment method, such as a credit card or PayPal account, that does not have any funds on it. This will ensure your balance remains at $0.00 during the country change process.


4. Change your Apple ID country: Go to the Apple ID account page (appleid.apple.com), sign in with your Apple ID, and select "Edit" under the Account section. Change your country or region to the desired new country. Follow the prompts to complete the process.


Keep in mind that changing your country may affect your access to certain services, content, or availability of specific apps. Some apps or services may not be available in the new country, and you may need to repurchase them if they are not transferred automatically.


Please note that Apple's policies and procedures may change over time, so it's always a good idea to refer to the official Apple support documentation or contact Apple Support directly for the most up-to-date instructions on changing your country and managing your Apple ID.
