Apple ID

I had an old Apple ID being used on my phone and cant use that one anymore so I added a new one and I am able to download new apps with it but I can’t update apps because it is asking for the old Apple ID so how do I get rid of that one?

iPhone 8, iOS 13

Those purchases are tied to the other ID and can't be transferred. One option is to delete the apps/purchases made by the other ID and download them using the new ID if desired. If necessary, check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID.
