Is it possible to remove all traces of an old Apple ID? Sort of like deauthorising the iPhone off the old Apple ID.

I didn't do a restore on my phone when it was given to me which is why there are traces of the old Apple ID. I have already deleted the apps which were downloaded using the old account.

When I update apps that were downloaded with my new Apple ID, the prompt is for the old Apple ID (non-editable field) and password. I cannot type my new Apple ID into the field.

On the other hand, when I log in to the old Apple ID to update apps, it says that I have not purchased the app (obviously, because I used the new Apple ID to download it) with a link to purchase it.

Is the old Apple ID stored in a plist String somewhere?
