Windows 10: I can't leave my Microsoft family.

I am currently in a Microsoft family with just my mom, I'm trying to leave but it won't let me because it wants my mom to remove me. The account of my mom in the family is gone and we can't find or recover it no matter what. Is there a way where I can remove myself even though I'm a child?

:)

 

Can't leave Microsoft family

I'm 19 and I must've done this thing when I was 9-10. I joined a Microsoft family thing and I'm listed as a child. I'm not the manager of it or whatever it's called. I can't leave the family and that's compromising everything I do. I have no way of contacting this person who's the owner of the family. Im even older than the dude as he was a childhood friend. HOW DO I LEAVE. Can an admin remove me please? I have YEARS of data in this Microsoft account I can't just make a new one.

 

I cannot leave my Microsoft family

Hello ,

Good to see you in Microsoft Community.

Before leaving, family members and organizers should remove saved places and location alerts they would not like to remain in the group. Location alerts must be removed by the individual who set them for saved places to be deleted. Leaving or being removed from a family group will not delete Microsoft accounts.

You can choose to opt out on your own or have a Family Safety organizer remove you from the family group:

• To remove yourself from a family group
  

1. Using a web browser, sign in to family.microsoft.com.
   
2. Click next to your name and select Leave family group.
   
3. Select Remove to confirm.
   

• To remove another member from a family group
  

1. Using a web browser, sign in to family.microsoft.com.
   
2. Click next to the person's name and select Remove from family group.
   
3. Select Remove to confirm.
   

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

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.
