How to remove previously deleted apple id from an iphone?

Hello, I recently deleted one of my apple ID that is currently on one my iPhone. Now my iPhone is asking the password of my deleted apple ID to be able to sign-out from iPhone. Since the apple ID is not valid anymore (because it is deleted now), i cant enter the password because it doesn't exists anymore although I know the password of the deleted apple ID. I can't erase or delete my iPhone because it always asks the password of the deleted apple ID. How can I remove this deleted apple ID from my iPhone? Regards.

This problem can be fixed. If you made the same mistake by not signing out before deleting your apple ID, call the Apple support services. There are ways to fix this problem. You need to provide sufficient evidence of valid ownership of the iPhone.

There is nothing you can do. As explained in the instructions about deleting your AppleID, you needed to sign that AppleID out on all devices before the AppleID was deleted from Apple’s system. That step by you was imperative if you wanted to be able to still use those devices. Now, it cannot be done, so those devices are now effectively useless.
