old Apple ID which no longer exists

I bought some apps through an old Apple ID which disappeared when the internet company closed down. I no longer have that email and therefore cannot access new password. How can I update and keep the apps bought at the time?

The old email address and password should still let you log in unless you changed them or forgot them. Once you are into the account you can update the information as outlined in Manage and use your Apple ID - Apple Support.

If you can’t sign in, access a trusted device, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery to regain access to your account.
