Can you give us more details?
Do you want to log out of your Apple Account on an Apple device, for example of your iPhone?
In that case go to Settings -> Your Name -> Apple Account -> scroll down the screen and tap on "Sign Out"
In any other case, have a look at the related articles about deleting your Apple account temporarily or permanently by clicking on the blue linked article:

Before you start, make sure to save your iCloud data first, if you are syncing data to iCloud.
