My wife has an old iPad mini and we want to change the iCloud account on it to mine. How do I delete her iCloud account and install mine? [Her iPad will not update to iOs10 (it is running iOS9.3.5). I have a new MacBook Air and lots of photos and files on my iCloud account which has extra storage. My wife want too see those photos too.]
iPad Mini, iOS 9.3.5
Or see the following from Sign in with a different Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
iCloud
- Tap Settings > iCloud on your iOS device. If you see the option to sign in, you can change your Apple ID now.
- Scroll down and tap Sign Out.
- Tap Sign Out again to confirm. After you sign out of iCloud, you might not be able to access some of your data that's stored in iCloud until you sign in again. If you're part of a family, you need to sign back in to use Family Sharing.
- Choose Keep on My iPhone or Delete from My iPhone when you're asked what you want to do with your iCloud data.
- Enter your password to sign out.
- Go to Settings > iCloud and enter your Apple ID and password.
- Tap Sign In.
If you updated your Apple ID email address and your device repeatedly asks for the password to your previous Apple ID, you can temporarily change your Apple ID to sign in.

Unfortunately I cannot find any way to sign out - and then to sign in with a different AppleID.
The only option I am being given is to put in the password for my wife's AppleID.
To elaborate a bit, what I did was ....
Click on Settings
Scroll down to and click on iCloud
This gives me a column on the left headed Settings
(with all the options, but with iCloud highlighted in blue)
plus a broader column on the right headed iCloud
The first item in this right column is a grey disc with my wife's initials in it
then to the right of that her name, with her apple account (name@icloud.com) under it.
To the right is a > symbol
Clicking on that, bring up a sign in pane, with my wife's Apple ID *already* in it, and asking for me to put in the password for it.
I can see no opportunity to put in a different AppleID !
Clearly I must be missing something!
Thanks for your help

Tap the Settings app.
Scroll down and tap iCloud.
Don't tap the ">" to the right of your wife's name.
Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the Settings - iCloud screen. The very last item is "Sign Out."
Thanks to everyone for your help. This solved my Question.
