How do I deactivate my old Apple ID email address to use a new one?

I can’t use some previously downloaded apps because it is logging into an old profile with a different email address and it doesn’t seem to deactivate

It appears you have apps on your phone that were downloaded with a different Apple ID. You can continue to use those apps, but will not be able to update them or transfer them to another device. If you do not know the password that was used when it was downloaded and unable to reset the password for the Apple ID used when it was downloaded, then you will have to delete the app and download it again using your current Apple ID. You will lose any data that the app stored on your device.
