apple id account active but can't log into iCloud using same apple id
Hi there, I have several apple ids for work, personal etc. I have one appleid that I no longer need or use. I want to delete it permanently. The problem is that the gmail account used for this unwanted appleid log in has already been deleted. Not good but the fact. I can still log in to this appleid account but I cannot log into web iCloud using my MacBP. It says this appleid doesn't exist. Is there a way to log in?
What I want to do is see if there is anything left to backup/retain in terms of data etc. I already went to the delete my account page via privacy.apple.com and generated a request for all my data from this unwanted appleid. I was hoping I would have the chance to input a recovery or other email address that was also associated with this appleid so I could actually get the data. Well it didn't let me and the apple data retrieval is sending it all to my defunct gmail (also the appleid's) address.
They say the data dump for this unwanted appleid can take up to 7 days.
Is there any way to get to it's iCloud?
Thanks for any help!
