because the old account does not exist!

If you have deleted it, it is no longer valid, it simply no longer exists and it no longer works.

To understand about a deleted Apple ID, see the Apple articles below:

I think i have done things in the wrong order. Now i cannot sign out from other devices, because the old account does not exist! If i go through "forgot password" it says Cannot reset password because ID is not valid.

I have changed the "Contactable at" field to the new email. but the first page on Settings still shows the old email
