I have two apple ID's and would like to link all devices to one however, it won't allow stating one user name is already taken which belongs to me. I have two and would like to remove one device from different ID and have all devices under one user ID

Hi Carol,
I understand that you would like to use just one Apple ID for everything. Let's go over some information on what you can do about that.
Depending on your setup, you could use one Apple ID for iCloud and another one for purchases from the iTunes and App Stores. To get to using one, it is a matter of signing out and removing content from that Apple ID that you no longer want to use and you would not be able to link or merge them to one Apple ID. Take a look at the first article for more details.

Now this does mean that you don't have to lose the content from your other Apple ID. Another way to handle this would be to use Family Sharing. With Family Sharing, you can have your multiple Apple ID's in the same Family Sharing account and then have access to that purchased content from the other devices. Take a look at the next article for more details on Family Sharing.

Let me know if you have any more questions regarding this issue.
Have a good day
