OS X & iCloud user account

[ZMacintosh]

I signed out of all services (iCloud, Messages, FaceTime, etc) with an iCLoud account that i no longer needed or have a use for. I signed in with my new one and reformatted the system a while after. the old Apple ID was not used on a phone or anything etc.

So my problem is even on a new install it still bugs for the old apple id and there does not seem to be a way to remove it?

Its not signed in at all, but it just is the default username in all iCloud accounts ie; system preferences icloud account or messages. etc.

First I'd try signing in at appleid.apple.com with the old account and making sure no devices are associated with the account. Probably a good idea to remove any email addresses you've associated with that account, also.

Nothing associated with it on icloud, was actually only used to do a back to my mac session as a throw away account, but it still lingers in system preferences icloud panel as the default/prepopulated username to sign in, i erased every keychain and plist i could think of related to ID, appleid, icloud, messages, etc.

doesnt show in internet accounts
