Surf to https://privacy.apple.com logging-in w/ your “accidental” Apple Account credentials.


Then select the “Delete Account” option and carefully follow the instructions thru to conclusion.


CRITICAL: Make sure to log-out ALL devices which might be logged-in to the “accidental” account.

For information about how to delete an Apple Account (formerly “Apple ID”), read this support article —> How to delete your Apple Account - Apple Support

Carefully and thoroughly read that article for information about what happens when you delete your Apple Account. For example:

"Make sure that you sign out of all your devices to avoid issues with apps that use your Apple Account or iCloud. After your account is deleted, you can’t sign out of iCloud or turn off Find My iPhone Activation Lock on your devices. If you forget to sign out, you might not be able to use your device when your account is deleted."
