    Apple IDs once created through My Apple ID can not be deleted by the individuals that created it through the apple id site.

    Or iCloud ID/Email

    same steps on reseting the password

     

    So the email address that you use as your Apple iD for which you use to sign into your icloud account, have you Actually went to Appleid.apple.com selected Create Apple ID and used that email address to create yuor Apple ID that you have been using this whole time?

    i hope the answer is yes,

     

    and if the answer is Yes, well the message states either Apple ID or Password is incorrect. Well looking at the Apple ID if it indeed is correct then, go to Appleid.apple.com and select Reset password which is located under the blue button that will read Manage Apple ID.

     

    When selecting Reset password follow the information prompted, then you can chose to either

    Reset the password by: Answering the Security Questions you set up when creating the Apple id OR

    the Email Authentication - which send a reset link to your email address OR if you have a recovery email you entered when creating this Apple ID [AND followed the verification link process and verified it] the reset link will go to your recovery email instead.

     

    otherwise contact AppleCare Account security [be ready to verify your information]

    expresslane.apple.com

     

    hope this helps ya
