How do I remove an old apple ID from my computer?

I have an old Apple ID that my computer keeps asking me to login for the iCloud. I can't reset the password because the ID no longer exists.

Windows, Windows 10

Hi there Equivalus,


If you were using this older Apple ID in iCloud for Windows on your Windows PC, follow these steps from Sign out of or uninstall iCloud for Windows to sign out of it:

Sign out of iCloud for Windows
When you sign out of iCloud for Windows, the information you store in iCloud is removed from your PC. You can still access it on your other devices and on iCloud.com. See Where else can you access the data you store in iCloud?
1. On your Windows computer, open iCloud for Windows.
2. Click “Sign out,” then follow the onscreen instructions.
3. If you decide you want to access information stored in iCloud on your PC, you can sign in again.


If you are seeing this prompt somewhere else on your Windows PC or when trying to do something specific, please provide more details so that we can continue to assist.


Cheers!
