Unable to remove child from Family Sharing on Apple Account

I am trying to delete a child from family sharing(under 13).


I have no options to remove or disband the family group.

I cant transfer to anyone else as there's nobody with apple account or products.


I have tried to reset the child's password on email(@icloud.com) but it says this account doesn't exist.


what is the best way to proceed?

Without another Family Sharing group to move the child's account to, you will need to delete their account, which will also remove all of their data. If you decide to do that, follow the steps carefully here to prevent the account from being locked on the device without a way to remove it. Also read the FAQ's at the end of the article, where there is quite a bit of useful information on deleting a child's account.
