Hey Faheem35! Where did you need to remove this old Apple ID? Is it showing up somewhere? Or are you just referring to deleting the Apple ID, but can’t remember what it was?


If you’re not sure what the Apple ID was:

If you know the Apple ID, and can access it, you can delete it here:


https://privacy.apple.com/


Hope that helps!

If necessary, if you are the original owner, contact Apple. Apple can remove the Activation Lock if provided the required paperwork. Either take the device, the original purchase receipt with the serial number, and a photo ID to the nearest Apple Store (if it has reopened)

How Many eMails Accounts have you had?:

Your Apple ID would be no more than an eMail Address you would have had used for it. So, sign in with whatever eMail Address you may have used for it. If it asks you for a password, then think of the only one that you would have used during that day in time, when you would have used.


Refraining from Closing an Apple ID:

But, if you remove that Apple ID, and there are purchases assigned to it, then they would be gone in an instant, and no longer accessible to you.
