Q: Changing email addresses on my icloud account

I changed my email address but it didn't changed automatically in icloud therefore I can't buy more storage. How do I change my email address on my icloud account without losing all my stuff stored there already?

    First save your photo stream photos to your camera roll (if not already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  When you're done, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID and password.  This will delete the account and your iCloud data from your phone, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your phone when you sign back in.
