Re :How do I remove a child account and its associated links?


We do not know the age of the child, (ie: under or over 13 years) and we don't know if you use Mac, iPhone, iPad.


See whether Apple Support's online articles (links below) can hhelp:

Leave or remove a member from a Family Sharing group – Apple Support (AU)

Eg: says:

  • "Any family member over the age of 13 years can remove themselves from a family group at any time. Just select your name and then select Leave Family. You can also sign in to the Apple Account website and choose Remove Account in the Family Sharing section.


  • For security reasons, a child (under 13 years) account can’t be removed from a family and can’t stop sharing details such as Screen Time without the Screen Time passcode. The organiser has access to shared family content on your device, such as shared photo albums and shared calendars, and can view Screen Time activity."


Move a child to another group using Family Sharing - Apple Support

Eg: says:

Children under 13 years old must be part of a family group managed by a parent or guardian. To remove a child from one group, a parent or guardian needs to invite them to join their group. Or the current family organiser can delete the child's account.

and

"Delete the child's account


Children under 13* can't be removed from a family group. Instead, you or another

guardian can delete their account and, if needed, create a new account

for your child.
