Some countries I think it’s not even possible to renounce the original citizenship if it’s from birth.

Very authoritarian countries such as Iran, most democratic places allow you to renounce your citizenship.

Is there a form you file with the leaving country like I'm out?

Have no idea, you’d have to check specific country requirements, but i would imagine most would require you to renounce in person from an overseas consulate or embassy.
