How do I delete a defunct email?
iPad Air, iPadOS 16
Mail accounts are simply deleted from your Mail settings:
Settings > Mail > Accounts > [Your Mail Account] Delete Account
If instead you wish to change your AppleID - as identified by an email address - this is something entirely different…
An AppleID account is intended to be used for life. If you need to change the primary email address that identifies your account, or your secondary (recovery) email addresses or trusted telephone numbers, you simply need to update your AppleID account as necessary.

Few of us will have the luxury of forever keeping the same email addresses or telephone numbers - sometimes these needing to be changed for a variety of reasons. However, updating our AppleID account, maintaining access to our data and purchases, is easy and relatively straightforward - accommodating life’s many changes as they inevitably occur.
Using a completely different AppleID account can introduce many complications and issues, not limited to losing access to paid Apps, subscriptions and services - these being forever tied to the AppleID account from which they were purchased.
If you do wish to change and use an entirely different AppleID account, first ensure that you have disabled the Activation Lock that will otherwise cause difficulties in the future. You can disable the Activation Lock by disabling the Find My iPad service from iPad settings before trying to use a different AppleID account:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Find My > Find My iPad - set to OFF
Having disabled the Activation lock, you can now sign-out from your old AppleID:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Sign Out
Presumably you’ll want to keep any iCloud data that is locally stored on your iPad. If so, accept the opportunity to keep a local copy of your data (e.g., Calendar, Contacts, Notes, Keychain Passwords etc.) - as otherwise this data will be wiped from your iPad as you sign-out from iCloud.
Also ensure that you have signed-out from Messages and FaceTime:
After signing out, a restart of your iPad is recommended:
Restart your iPad - Apple Support
After restarting, you can sign-in to your new AppleID account from iPad settings - and also sign-in to Messages and FaceTime if necessary. Any iCloud data that you saved to your iPad during the previous sign-out will be merged with your new AppleID account.
My iPad is no longer for business. I need to delete the business account but keep the apps that we’re connected to it
Since you marked your own question as solved I guess you no longer need any help, right?
No, I got frustrated and tired of waiting.
