Windows 10: How do I remove myself from a family group I was mistakenly added to?

My email address was used by someone else to make a child account that is affiliated with a family group. I do not know any members of the group. I have recovered the account and am trying to use it but as the owner of the account is another member of the family group, not me, I am very limited in what I can do. Microsoft help chat support agents referred me to this group for assistance.Ideally I would like to have this existing account deleted so that I can create a new account using my email address, or at least have the ownership transferred back to the account so that it is not treated as

:)

 

someone has added to family members group and I cant remove

Someone has added to family members group and I can't remove - not someone i recognise or have tried to add myself. I go to remove member but it asks to change consent which it wont let me as they seem to be listed as a child.

I follow the steps to page and get this message..

Manage permissions

In the United States, South Korea and the EU, legislation requires that children have adult consent before creating an online account. You can use this page to manage the child accounts for which you provided consent. Learn
more.

To manage restrictions for your children, view your family settings.

Then once I click on the above it takes me back to the overall settings page.

 

Can't remove family members from family group

Hey all,

I'm the organizer for my family group. I'm trying to remove one of the members of the family group, and it tells me "Family members under statutory age need an adult's consent to join a family group. Only the adult that granted consent for [Member] can remove this family member. Ask the family organizer who granted [Member] consent to remove [Member] from the family group."

I am the person who added this member to the group. I even checked on their profile, and it says I'm the organizer. Why can't I edit/remove this account?

Family Organizer Leaving Family Group

Hello Lee Wilfert,

Glad to see you in Microsoft Community.

• If Mother was the administrator of the Family Group, you can exit the Family Group directly, and Mother will automatically become the Family Group organizer.
  
  If you want to stay in the Family Group, you need to rejoin, either as an administrator or as a regular Family Group member.
  
  Visit Getting started with Microsoft Family Safety for more details.
  

• If Mother was already a member of the Family Group, you need to remove her from the Family Group, then add it again, and need to select "Administrator" when selecting the role.
  

Meanwhile, you can dissolve the Family Group, and then let the new organizer send an invitation to re-establish the Family Group. Visit Leave family group or remove members (microsoft.com) for more details.

If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.
