I started up my ipad I have and was met with a text saying that my Ipad was linked to my old ID that has been deleted for a long time and that I need to log in to that nonexisting account to activate my Ipad. So how am I supposed to do that? I don´t know what OS it´s running all i know is that it´s a old Ipad mini.

Did you change to your current ID by EDITing the old ID, or did you create a brand new Apple ID? The solution is different depending on how you "moved" from your old Apple ID to the current one.

If you cannot access the ID that is required for activation of the device, you will need to contact Applecare with the original purchase receipt, and if they accept the documentation, they may remove the activation lock.
I created a brand new ID so the my Ipad is linked with is no more
And if that receipt is gone I´m screwed?
that is up to the store
OK, so then you need to change the password on the old ID. Apple IDs are never deleted, so you should be able to go to Apple - My Apple ID, click on Reset Password, answer the Security Questions and change the password on the old ID. If you don't remember the answers to your security questions, you can contact Apple Support to have them reset:
Best of luck,

I need to use my old deleted apple Id to activate my Ipad, any thoughts on how I might do that?
