  2. How to delete an adult account in the Family Settings.

    Hi,

    To resolve your issue, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

    • As an adult in the family account, sign in with your Microsoft account.
    • Under Your family, click
      Remove
      .
    • Click the child account you want to remove, and click Remove.
    • You will get an email confirmation once the child has been removed from the family.
    Note: If you removed a Child account, it will be tagged as an "Orphaned account" and you will need to attach another "Parent account".

    Regards.

      and sign in with the Microsoft account of an adult in the family.
    • To remove a child, choose Remove at the top of the section labeled
      Select a child to view or edit their settings.
    • Select the person you want to remove from the family.

    To add a child to your family

      account.microsoft.com/family
      .
    • If this is your first time setting up a family, select Add a child.

      If you've already added child accounts to your family, go to Select a child to view or edit their settings and then select

    Not to Accept Invitation from a Child Account

    Hi Timothy,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    Let me try to help you to fix the issue.

    Let’s try simple steps and check if it helps in resolving the issue. I would suggest you to remove the child account from family safety and add it again. Follow the below steps to remove the child account.


    • To remove a child, choose Remove at the top of the section labeled Select a child to view or edit their settings.

    • To remove an adult, including the account you used to sign in with, choose Remove at the top of the Adults section. If you're the only adult in the family, you'll need to remove all the kids before you can remove yourself.

    • Select the person you want to remove from the family.
    • Select the Remove button that appears when you've chosen the person to remove.
    Once you remove the account, try to add the account again and check it helps.
