Windows 10: Removing my child's account from my work laptop

Ever done a stupid thing? I have. I innocently added my child's Micrsoft account to a profile in Edge, not realising that doing so means that the account is now associated with Windows. Great. Now I can't remove it. It is listed under 'Email & Accounts', but there is no option to remove it, only 'Manage', which takes you to the internet. It is not listed under 'Access work or School'. The account is part of my Family Safety thing. I have seen a suggestion that I need to remove the child from my family, but that seems extreme and I don't now what data I will lose, or if it will fix the prob

Unable to remove child account from Family

Thanks Elise. Your suggestion worked. I contacted live chat option via "Get Help" app.

Just for others who read this in future I had performed the following steps to solve the issue.

1. Log into Microsoft Family Safety
   
2. Select 3 dots on the top right of child's card & select "Remove consent for this child's account"
   
3. It then warns, "You are about to remove parental consent for this child. They will no longer have permissions to access certain Microsoft sites and services."
   
4. Click on "Remove consent" button
   
5. Go back to Microsoft Family Safety home page. Wait for few seconds for settings to reflect. The child account will disappear from family home page.
   

 

Child Account Get Greyed Out

Thanks for the suggestion, but I did the following instead.

I have another laptop, 2 weeks old, with Windows 10 Home on it.

On that one, I tried the same steps with the child account, and got the exact same results.

 

Removing child from family account

Hello there. This is Emily.

Just want to make sure these are the steps you followed. When you log into the organizer's account (https://account.microsoft.com) and click on Family, do you see your child's account listed? If so, click on the three dots on the child's icon and click on "Manage consent". On the next page, remove the consent first, then you can proceed to remove the child account.
