How to merge two Apple ids?

I stupidly got my new iPhone id wrong and am now left with on id for my iPad and another for my phone (only one digit difference but obviously different passwords).


My mistake in my hurry to set up the phone but creating a lot of hassle now.


How can I merge the two or delete one and start again (while saving my stuff..)?

iPad Mini Wi-Fi, iOS 11.2.6, iPhone SE

You can't merge accounts (nor transfer purchases between accounts) nor delete them. If nothing was downloaded on the second you could just stop using it. If you did buy content on it you could put the two accounts in a Family Share : Family Sharing - Apple Support
