How do I delete my Apple Music account?

Im trying to set up my first Apple Music account on my phone by using my regular email. I then attempted to connect the account on my phone to my computer but I was firstly unable to log into any account on there. the 'sign up' button was no where to been seen. after I'd checked all the buttons I thought maybe it was because my computer is under a different email which is my Apple ID. I then tried to delete the account that was on my phone so that I could re-register under my Apple ID email but I couldn't delete the account. I've been searching for a while trying to find out how to delete it with videos online and other questions on apple support but everything seems to be out of date (I think??). I hope someone has had the same issue so you can help me out. please!

Your post is a bit confusing.


There is no independent Apple music account. Apple Music uses your Apple ID as the account.


If you change the Account in the music app on an iPhone you are changing the Apple ID used for all services, including Apple Music, Apps Store and Books Store. The main place to change the Apple account on an iPhone is under Settings ➜ Apple Account ➜ Media & Purchases.


Same thing applies on Mac.


Changing the account in the Apple Music app, will change the account used for all other services on the Mac. The main location for the account is like on the iPhone in System Settings ➜ Apple Account ➜ Media & Purchases.

You can have a separate account for Music, Apps and Books than the one for iCloud though if that's what you want, but that means to different Apple IDs which will just makes things more difficult.
