Hallo sashaxad,


in this case, please contact the iTunes – Offizieller Apple Support. They will remove and keep your credit.


You can’t reset or manually remove that $0.0? yourself. Apple requires the App Store balance to be exactly zero before you can change the region.


Your options are limited but clear:


  • Spend the balance: In practice this is almost impossible with $0.0?, because prices don’t go that low.


  • Contact Apple Support: Apple can manually clear very small remaining balances like $0.0? so you can change the region. This is the usual and intended solution.


  • Add funds to spend it: You could add money and then spend the full balance, but that’s usually more effort than it’s worth.


Apple documents this requirement explicitly: the balance must be zero to change regions (Apple Support → Change your Apple ID country or region).


So the realistic path is Apple Support ( 0800 6645 451 ) → ask them to remove the $0.0? balance. After that, the region change will work immediately.
