I changed my Apple ID. Now the apps won’t update.

I don’t know the password for my original Apple ID. That e mail no longer exists. I have a new Apple ID and password but the old apps won’t update without the old password. They are still on the old ID. How do Ichange this?

iPad Air Wi-Fi, iOS 11.2.1

Delete the apps from the old Apple ID and re-download them with the new one. The Apple ID used to purchase/download apps is permanently locked to the app, and they cannot be changed. You cannot merge accounts, so the only option is what I provided.
