We recently had a foster child in our care who needed an Apple ID because he has a glucose monitor connected to his phone. He's no longer in our care, but now I can't figure out how to delete the Apple ID we created. I hit the request to delete but no request showed up on any of our devices. How can I delete it?
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.
Another way would be for the child to make the request.

"Your child can also request deletion of their Apple ID, which requires your approval.
The approval request will be sent via email to the primary Apple ID email address of your family organizer account. When approving the request from this email, you will go through the process of deleting the child account."
If the child's account password is unknown, see the section in this document about using a family Organizer's device to reset the password --> Change your Apple ID password - Apple Support
