Delete Apple ID

I was wondering if anyone knows how to delete an Apple ID? I made my daughter a new Apple ID. I want to delete her old one.

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Info on how to delete here - How to delete your Apple ID account - Apple Support


However, I am not understanding why you would delete a previous Apple ID. If you are wanting to give her access to an Family Sharing group, you can send her existing Apple ID an invitation to join. More info here - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201084.


I am recommending against you deleting your Apple ID to make a new one per the risk of losing purchases along with it. Your daughter will lose all her iCloud data.
