How do I remove someone else's Apple ID?

I bought a second hand iphone 7, but their apple id is connected to the phone. How can i get rid of it? I texted the seller but the seller didn't answer yet. Is there a way for me to prove my purchase and remove the Apple ID at an Apple store?

No, there is not.


You must contact the original owner, or the iPhone will remain useless to you. Get your money back if possible.
