App Store New Apple ID

I have created a new Apple ID and now when I update my apps on a MacBook or an iPhone I am asked to sign in to my previous Apple ID. How do I get rid of my previous Apple ID in this situation? I want to use only my new one.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

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. After deleting the apps, it may be necessary to restart the device/computer before you can download the apps again. If necessary, check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID.
