I'm trying to use a different iCloud account because the old account has an outdated email and now everytime i try to delete the iCloud accound it doesn't let me without a password. I don't remember the password and I can't reset it either since the email account it is linked to does not exist anymore. PLEASE HELP
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.4
Contact Apple support and ask for account security. You can verify your Apple ID account in a few ways. Email, security questions, etc. Keep in mind that the email address for your Apple ID is basically a User ID. You can manage the account to change any email address associated with it. There really isn't a need to create another Apple ID.
If you have a current iCloud ID that is a newer version of the old ID (and not an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone and delete the old account. Then go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.
If the old ID is not an older version of your current iCloud ID, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance resetting the password, either by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password, or by contacting the Apple account security team: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
Close, but the official Apple procedure for the 'old/wrong' email address showing in iCloud has something to try before changing the primary email address around:
How do I delete my iCloud account if I don't remember the PW for it? The email it's linked to doesn't work anymore either. HELP!
