Can't Remove Old ICloud Account

Hey guys,


A year ago or so I updated my apple ID as the old one was tied to an old email address that I didn't want to use. I updated the details and was able to change things like the apple store settings but was unable to change my iCloud settings.


When I updated to IOS 7, it wanted to use my old ID for ICloud so I skipped that step (there was no other option to change it)


I tried to remove the old ICloud account to create a new one but it asks for a password and I can't remember it. So...I went online and clicked "forgot passord" then it successfully emailed the reset instructions except it sent the instructions to some other email address that I don't use. It's all very frustrating. How do I delete the old ICloud?


Thanks again for all your help in advance

I've tried this but when I go to delete the icloud account with the old email, it asks for that password, which I don't have. This is driving me insane.

Going to above comment


When I tap on to view the terms & conditions on iCloud it's saying that it's unable to connect to server,


This is frustrating as I have done all the above & have no luck..


I've also asked our tech support at work to help with the response good luck in capitals


I can even j/break it & restore it that way...
