Apple ID

Please I have a question to ask, if I should delete my Apple ID and create a new one, will i be able to recover my files on my iCloud or will it be erased together with the Apple ID.

Deleting an AppleID permanently erases your data and is un-recoverable. (There’s no “going back”)


It can also even potentially lock you out of your own devices if you don’t perform ALL the steps as prescribed.


It sounds like what you probably want to do is CHANGE your AppleID as described here:
