    Hi Leonel rojas,

    I'm not sure why you created two Apple ID accounts.  But what I would suggest is that you only use one Apple ID (the one that has your iTunes Store purchases).  Sign out of the iTunes Store and then sign back in with the Apple ID that you use for iTunes Store purchases.  Then sign out of your iCloud account and sign in with the same Apple ID that you use for your iTunes Store purchases.  You can't delete the second Apple ID, but you can stop using it.   Here is some additional information.  I've highlighted the key information.  Click on the link for complete details.

    Sign in with your Apple ID on a new device

    Your Apple ID is the account you use to access all Apple services—and you only need one to sign in everywhere. If you use Apple services like the iTunes & App Stores, Apple Music, iCloud, iMessage, and FaceTime, then you already have an Apple ID  and don't need to create a new one.

    Use different Apple IDs for iCloud and iTunes

    We recommend that you use the same Apple ID for all Apple services on your device—including the iTunes & App Stores and iCloud. Using multiple Apple IDs might be confusing and cause issues with accessing purchased content or using some services. If you have multiple Apple IDs, you can’t merge them.

    But if you already have different Apple IDs that you want to use with iCloud and the iTunes & App Stores, you can still get all the benefits your Apple ID has to offer.

    • On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > iCloud and sign in with the Apple ID that you want to use with iCloud. Go back to Settings > iTunes & App Stores and sign in with the Apple ID that you want to use with iTunes.
    • On your Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud and sign in with the Apple ID that you want to use with iCloud. Go to iTunes >   Sign In and sign in with the Apple ID that you want to use with iTunes.

    If you use multiple Apple IDs and want to restore your device from a backup, you can learn more about iCloud or iTunes backups.

    Sign in to the iTunes & App Stores

    When you sign in to the iTunes & App Stores, you can enjoy music, movies, TV shows, and on-demand music stations with Apple Music. Find something good to read with iBooks, or discover your new favorite podcast. With your Apple ID, you can savor all the entertainment the iTunes Store and App Store has to offer on all of your devices.

    • On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Enter your Apple ID and password.
    • On your Mac, go to iTunes >   Sign In. Enter your Apple ID and password.

    You might need to add a credit card or other payment information to help secure your account.

    You can’t sign in to the iTunes & App Stores with more than one Apple ID at the same time, or update the content you buy with a different Apple ID.

     

    Sign in to iCloud

    When you sign in to iCloud with your Apple ID, you always have what’s most important to you on all of your devices. iCloud Photo Library and iCloud Drive keep all your photos, videos, and documents stored securely and updated. Family Sharing lets you easily share music, movies, photos, and more with everyone in your family. Find My iPhone even helps you find your device if you lose it.

    • On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > iCloud. Enter your Apple ID and password.
    • On your Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud. Enter your Apple ID and password.

    After you sign in to iCloud with your Apple ID, you can save and automatically back up important information like your contacts, calendars, notes, photos, and more.

    Take care,
