How can I delete Apple Discussions Community account?

I am not "mw_decavia".


This phone was a pre-owned gift to me from a relative. It had an existing apple-id.


I should have made a new apple-id. But what I did was : change email, phone number, name, birthdate.


And now apple services like this discussion community still think it is the same apple-id.


I can't get a new apple-id because I only have one phone number, which I need to keep.


So please delete this discussions account.

Take it back to the person from whom you received it. Get them to do the things in this support article --> What to do You should definitely not use an account that belongs to somebody else. This article explains how to create a new Apple ID (create an Apple Account) --> How to create a new Apple ID - Apple Support What you will find is that if you used your email address as the Apple ID then Apple won't let you use it again for a new ID. You will need a different email account for that. It is a nuisance but you made a mistake in using another person's account and will have to accept the minor consequences.


You can write Apple and ask about the discussions account but since you are using an account that does not belong to you, and they rarely delete accounts here since all associated posts (with valid content) also disappear, you may find that they will not agree. mailto:communityaccounts@apple.com The account here is also linked to the Apple account you are using so you won't be able to post here using a different discussions account. It will be the same account again.

I have already found out I can't get a new apple-id with the same phone number as the old one.
