How to erase your apple id forever

Are you tired of Apple raising the prices of its products year after year? Have you decided to switch from Mac to Windows and / or from iOS to Android?

Permanently delete your Apple account

If you want to delete a secondary Apple account or your primary account, the Cupertino company offers you the option of permanently deleting your Apple ID. Now, before doing so, you must know what will happen if you delete your Apple account. As the company itself warns us on its data and privacy page, this is what happens when you delete your account:

• You will not be able to access iTunes Store, Apple Books and App Store purchases. Your photos, videos and documents stored in iCloud will be permanently deleted. You will not receive messages sent to your account through iMessage, FaceTime or iCloud Mail. You will not be able to log in or use services such as iCloud, iTunes, Apple Books, App Store, Apple Pay, iMessage, FaceTime and Find My iPhone. Your data associated with Apple services will be permanently deleted. Some exceptions may apply. If you are enrolled in the iPhone update program, you must continue to make payments for your device. Deletion does not cancel Apple Store repairs or orders. However, any appointments you have scheduled at the Apple Store will be canceled and all open Apple Care cases will be permanently closed and will not be available once your account is deleted.

Once you are clear, follow these steps to permanently erase your Apple ID:

1. Go to the Apple data and privacy page. Log in to the account you want to delete. Go to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete your account. Make sure once again that you want to delete your account and verify the backups of your data. Check if you have any subscription with your Apple ID. Choose a reason to delete your account and click Continue. Follow the remaining instructions to permanently delete your ID. from Apple

Optionally, remember that you can also change the email address of your Apple ID, and meanwhile, you can rethink whether or not to delete your Apple account forever.
