How can I delete my child’s account from my phone so that I can join another family group

Refer to these:

Leave Family Sharing - Apple Support

If your family includes children under 13 (age varies by country or region), you must first transfer them to a different Family Sharing group before you can stop Family Sharing.

Alternatively you have to delete the child's Apple ID which will mean loss of all purchased content. One way to do this would be to log into the unwanted "child" account and request deletion of the Apple ID. You should have the ID and password from when you first set up the account, or can recover the password according to information provided in the referenced links below.

- "Your email address is the rescue email address for your child’s account, and you can use it with the security questions you provided to reset a forgotten password. You can keep your your child's account more secure with two-factor authentication."

- "If you need to see the options you have for managing your child's account, you can sign in with their Apple ID and password at https://privacy.apple.com/account."
