Windows 10: Family Safety - I am no longer part of a Microsoft Family yet there are still restrictions...

Hi,


I was removed from my Microsoft family years ago, however I am still seeing restrictions on the New Microsoft Edge and other services on devices I signed into before this change. Why is this? I tried to find a way to change my account to local and then back to a Microsoft account, however this features seems to be unavailable now.





Any help would be appreciated


Thank you

:)
