Unlink the phone number from your Apple account

My main account is broken and I want to create a new account, but I cannot register with the phone number that was linked to the broken account. Is there a way to delete the phone number from the broken old account so that I can register with it in the new account?

Refer to this page for Apple Support features ➔ Contact - Official Apple Support

Select from the presented options until you find a solution for your issue, or see if there is a chat or phone call contact method offered lower on the page (you sometimes have to narrow down the options multiple times before this is shown). If you do not see your issue, keep experimenting with any series of selections until you reach one that offers a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
