About updating / or deleting an application that was downloaded with the old deleted apple id

I am now using a new phone. I have deleted my old apple id. I have now a new apple id, but upon checking the apps that was downloaded here could not be updated anymore because I could no longer access the old apple id that was deleted.

I have deleted my old apple id.


If you have deleted your old Apple ID, it is no longer valid, it simply no longer exists and it no longer works.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:

Your Apple ID is the personal account you use with all Apple products and services. It includes the email address and password you use to sign in, as well as the contact, payment, and security details that you use with Apple.

You can’t merge multiple Apple ID accounts.


No it is not possible, to re download the apps using your new apple id.
