I, an adult, have an existing iTouch. Because my 11yr old keeps using it, I plan to reset it, and set up a child account for her instead. What do I need to do to save all my files and pictures so they don’t get deleted or how do I keep them on the phone if I prefer they stay? Please help. Thank you.
iPod, iOS 15
If you want to keep everything on the iPod, simply do not restore it. Leave it as is, and just sign out of the current Apple ID, and sign in with the new child account you made over family sharing.
Settings ➜ Apple ID ➜ (scroll to the bottom) ➜ Sign Out.
Settings ➜ Apple ID ➜ Media & Purchases ➜ Sign Out
Settings ➜ Messages ➜ Send & Receive ➜ Apple ID ➜ Sign Out
Settings ➜ Facetime ➜ You can be reached by facetime at ➜ Apple ID ➜ Sign Out.
If you want to save it, you connect the iPod to a computer and back it up there, or transfer any images and videos from the Photos App to the computer if you need to.

I confess I had to google to see what an iTouch is. I learned it is not an Apple product so it is unlikely we can help you in this Apple Community Forum. I did find this link to iTouch Support. Hopefully it will help you fond the answer.

Dear Carol,
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I really appreciate it. I should make a correction that I mean to say it's an iPod Touch and is an apple product. It looks like an iPhone, and has all the features except it's not a phone.
