Q: cant log out of find my iphone changed email

I changed my email a while ago and deleted my old one but my icloud is still under my old one and I cannot change it or log out with find my iphone on which I cannot log out of because the Apple ID does not exist. It keeps asking to verify my account but its asking with my old email very annoying.

iPhone 5s, iOS 9.2.1

    Hi Kailynypoo,

    If you changed the email address that you use for your Apple ID, the link below explains how to update your Apple ID account.  Then, you can sign out of all of the services that use Apple ID and sign in with the new email address.  If you need help with your Apple ID, I've included a link below for the Apple ID Account Security team.

    Change your Apple ID

    Follow these steps to change the email address that you use as your Apple ID.

    1. Sign out of iCloud, the iTunes & App store, FaceTime, Find My Friends, Find My iPhone, and iMessage on each device that uses your Apple ID.
    2. Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
    3. In the Account section, click Edit > Change Email Address.
    4. Enter the email address you want to use as your Apple ID. A verification code will be sent to your new email address.
    5. Enter the verification code from the email into the fields provided and start using your updated Apple ID. Didn't get the email?

    You can change your Apple ID to any other email address you control, as long as it's not already in use as an Apple ID. If your email address ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com, you can't change your Apple ID and you won't see Change Email Address on your account page.

    After you change your Apple ID, you need to use your new sign-in information with all Apple services you use.

    If you want to change the Apple ID that you use on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch—and not change the email address that you use as your Apple ID—follow these steps to sign out, then back in with a different Apple ID.
