Delete a child's account in Family access

Good afternoon.

Can you tell me how to delete a child's account in Family access under the age of 13 if you lose your phone?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18

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.

From: How to delete your Apple ID account - How to delete your Apple ID account - Apple Support

Section: Can I delete my child’s account?

"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


If you have problems doing that then contact Apple about this request: Click here --> Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support Select your country, then a product and work your way down the menu to the desired issue. If you don't see one then try a different product until you reach a telephone or chat help request and ask to be redirected.
