How can I retrieve an old Apple ID and old email?

I was trying to create Apple ID using email that I’m using for years , but it says it’s already been taken. I had an iPhone years ago and probably used the same email as well. How can I retrieve old Apple ID and old email?

See if you can recover the ID/password. Use every email address you can think of.

If you forgot the Apple ID (iCloud) password, enter the Apple (iCloud) ID, and click Forgot Password. See if you can get a Rescue or Notification email option if necessary. Link to contact Apple Support at the end of the 2nd article.
