You might have mentioned that to begin with - that is an entirely different question. If you cannot remember your security questions you can contact Apple Support to have them reset them for you so you can then reset your password:

That did not answer the question !! The question was how do you delete the account !! what you are saying just removes the account for the computer.

Again how do you delete an account ?

Thank you,

Kevin

What "account" are you referring to, and where is it that you want to "delete" it from? As this post was created last May, and as the OP was specifically asking how to delete the iCloud account, I provided the only way in which that can be done. So, specifically, what is it that you are wanting to do?

Don't know how else to say it, delete, remove, erase. gone forever. I don't want it anymore.even though I remove it from the computer, Im sure its still out there somewhere in cyberspace. Do I need to go to apples website somewhere and delete it. can't get any simpler than that

You cannot delete an Apple ID. Just remove your credit card from it, and and stop using it. That is how simple it is....

You can also contact Apple Support in the link provided above to see if they will wipe it off of the face of the earth for you.

Gail, how can you remove your credit card. It does not allow you to not have one?

Once you put a credit card in, you should then see the option of "None" if you go back in to the Payment Info section.
