Cannot reset password or delete invalid Apple Account

Hello,


My friend attempted to create an iCloud account but unfortunately made a mistake during the process. She used her Gmail address to create the account but cannot remember the password that was set.


We tried to reset the password, but the system returns the following error message;“This Apple Account is not valid or not supported.”


Could you please assist us with deleting this account so that we can create it again correctly from the beginning?


Thank you for your assistance.


Kind regards,
