Windows 10: Unable to remove a defunct family member account

Due to a defunct account connected to mine, I have Microsoft Family Safety enabled. This is rather annoying as I also have to pay extra for Microsoft 365 Family, even if only I use it.I go to Family Safety, I click on the three dots and I then select Remove from family group. The menu prompt says:Are you sure you want to remove [redacted]?You'll no longer be able to manage their Family Safety settings and [redacted] will lose access to Family Safety features.The two options below consist of Remove and Cancel. I select Remove as it clearly states it will remove the account, without further prom

Unable to remove Member from Family Account

I am unable to remove any family members from my family account.

Whenever I log in and try to remove a member it says "Please try again later. We can't do this right now." I have tried using every adult account, to either remove itself or a child account but they always say the same thing.

I have shut down the computer and tried on a different device and get the same message.

I was unaware of the limit on the members now I have a hybrid of real used accounts with temporary ones without the ability to have all the family members log in our laptop (as children). I would be happy to have the whole family relationships dissolved
or even just the ability to remove members.

I have tried releasing the accounts on the laptop by 'blocking' them but that didn't help either. Open to suggestions as I have been pulling my hair out for hours now and getting knowhere with first level support.



Please help

Remove family member account not successful

Hello everyone,

I have tried to remove a family member account that I opened by mistake by following the steps I read here:

1. Login the parent account at https://fss.live.com.

2. In the Family Summary, click Remove a family member.

3. Check your account with issue and click Remove.

The problem now is that I dont see anymore the family member account on that website, but on my PC, when I start it, it still appears...

Help would be much appreciated
