How can I change my iCloud account on my iPhone?

I had to change my email for my apple id, after deleting my email account. In the past few days, my phone has been promting me to login to my account, however, it prompts mme with the old email. I didn't change my password when switching emails, but it still does not recognize that password.


I did my research and I stumbled upon threads who suggested deleting the iCloud account from my phone. However, here's my problem:


When attempting to delete my account, it asks me to turn off Find My iPhone, which requires my password. It then sends me back into the loop of not recognizing my password with my old iCloud email.

I went into iCloud on my iPhone 3gs (I know it's really old but had to sort this prob out as have upgraded to 5c 🙂) and turned off Find My iPhone. I then deleted the account, making sure I backed up the photos in the photostream first. I then went back into iCloud on my iPhone 3gs and my new email address appeared. I was then able to create a new iCloud account with my new password. Hope this works for you too
