Delete them and re-purchase or re-upload them to get them transferred to the new Apple ID.


Or recover access to the forgotten Apple ID.


Switching Apple IDs without a full reload is going to leave purchases and media and iCloud referencing whichever ID ws originally used with the app or the content.
