Q: iphone wont forget old apple id

I have an apple iphone which had an old apple id. I have recently created my own and updated in settings the icloud and apps store with the new details . Every time i go to apps store it shows the old apple ID and ask for the password. It does not give you the opportunity to type in another apple ID and thus I am stuck. The old apple ID has been deleted so does not even exist anymore. How can i get it to forget thee old apple ID

iPhone 5s, iOS 10

    That's because you have apps installed that were purchased with the old ID. apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them. Delete those apps and re-purchase them using your ID. Better yet, Erase the phone completely and set it up as a new device using your account.
