Windows 10: How can I dis-connect a device from a child account in MS Family Safety?

No matter what I try including calling MS support the MS Family Safety site https://account.microsoft.com/family/home/settings/... still says "connected devices:1"even though my son's account site lists NO connected devices

Family Safety - add device to child profile

Since this is the case and you have ensured the settings are correctly setup in family Safety, we suggest that you sign in using your main account and remove you child's account from Family Safety list. (Refer to the image below for reference.)





After completing the steps, attempt to use the email address of your child to login to the computer and see if the same error message still shows up. If the error no longer shows up, we suggest that you attempt to add the account back then to Family safety.

Regards.
