How do I remove previous owner's Apple ID from the App Store? I bought this phone from someone that said they reset it. Now even though I’m signed into my Apple ID I’m still unable to update any apps because their old Apple ID pops up. I have called customer support twice to fix it and it still doesn’t fix the problem. Help! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Delete and redownload that application; the other Apple ID is stored inside it.
