  1. Why can I not remove accounts from my family account?


    I am the family organizer and the only adult account and I have two “kids accounts” on my family that I cannot remove. When I try to remove the accounts myself I get the message “Family members under statutory age need an adult’s consent to join a family group. Only the adult that granted consent for NAME can remove this family member. Ask the family organizer who granted NAME consent to remove NAME from the family group.” Microsoft Support has been NO help because I am not have issues logging into my account. I am simply being told “you don’t have an issue logging into your account so there

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.

    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.

  3. Family Account Not Removing.

    Hi Saksham,

    I am sorry to know that you are unable to remove the Family account.

    You need to remove it from the website and then from the computer if you do not want to see it on the log in screen.

    To remove the account refer the steps below.

    Sign in at
    account.microsoft.com/family
    . Remove or turn off the account.

    On a PC, refer the steps below.

    • Press Window key + X and select Control Panel.
    • Click on User accounts.
    • Click on Manage another account and then select the user account that you want to delete.
    • Click on “delete the account”.
    • Depending on whether you want to “Keep the files” or “Delete the files” choose the appropriate option.
    • You can delete the other accounts similarly.
    Note: Once deleted, the user accounts cannot be recovered. Make sure you back up any data if required.

    Restart the computer and check.


    • Try to open User Accounts and check how many accounts are there.

    • Open Run (type run in Search or press Windows Logo Key+X. Click on Run). Type netplwiz and Click OK.
    For reference:

    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.
