Anyone who wants to permanently disassociate themselves from the Apple ecosystem and have no intention of returning to that ecosystem can completely delete their Apple ID, a completely abrupt act because in the event that they want to return to this environment at some point, it will be necessary to register absolutely all the data to obtain a new Apple ID.
The 'ID' of the device user with the bitten apple icon is the Apple ID, a unique identifier for all products and services, associated with a person identified by surname and first name, email, phone number and credit or debit card numbers.
The brand's products and services may no longer be used because they require the addition of an active Apple ID in the setup process.
This is how to cancel an Apple account forever
In order to permanently cancel your Apple ID, you need to follow these steps:
- Access the Apple Data and Privacy website (prvacy.apple.com).
- Sign in with the Apple ID you want to delete.
- Confirm the identity of the user by entering email address and password.
- Go to the 'Manage your data' section.
- Enter the 'Delete your account' section.
- Click on the option 'Request to delete your account'.
Apple then displays information about all data that will be deleted when deleting an Apple ID account, recommending creating a backup copy of it before starting the deletion process, including a link.
It also displays a menu with different options to report the reason for removing Apple ID. Once highlighted, click on the 'Continue' button.
A new page reports on all lost data, then you have to press the 'Continue' button again.
Below are the terms and conditions for data deletion, and the box that says 'I have read and accept these conditions' must be checked, press the 'Continue' button again to complete the process.
Finally, and as a last resort in case anyone regrets, once the process is completed, Apple provides a code valid for a week, during which the Apple ID removal process can still be stopped.
