Secondary Apple ID

I have an old Apple ID that has been deleted, but every time I restart my phone there is a prompt asking me to input the password for the old account. I figure there must be some data connected to that old account that is still somewhere on the phone/iCloud. How do I unbind that? I deleted that old Account, and I will literally never use it, it is quite annoying that it still makes me do this after years and years of use.

Is there a way to find that data and manually delete those folders etc.?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

Check the App Store and iTunes Store to see if there are any updates for apps/purchases. A request for another Apple ID password is often caused by updates to apps/purchases that were made when using the other ID. 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.
