Jun 12, 2013 7:39 PM in response to Rochasamby randers4,★HelpfulSorry, perhaps I misunderstood the situation. Are you saying you were sent an email by Apple asking you to confirm your iCloud account information, including your ID and password? If so, what, exactly, did this email say. I ask because there have been may fraudulant attempts to get iCloud users to "confim" their iCloud information in recent weeks and as far as I know, Apple has never sent such an email to anyone.
Simply deleting an iCloud account from a device wouldn't trigger anything from Apple. It doesn't disable the account in any way; it only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud. You should be able to go to icloud.com from your computer and sign in right now. You should also be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with the same credentials.
