It must be known to you that you cannot remove yourself from Microsoft family if you were logged into the account as a child. It is so obvious why Microsoft does not allow a child to remove itself without permission from the organizer account. However, you may have mistakenly entered the family group as a child and now you would like to leave it. Are you having trouble doing this task? Don’t worry; this post will walk you through finding a way to remove yourself as a child from the Microsoft family account.

How to Remove Yourself from Microsoft Family Account as a Child?

The adult members of the Microsoft family group can easily leave the group by logging into their accounts and clicking the ‘leave’ button. But it is not a piece of cake if you are a child member. You need to declare yourself not being a child anymore if you want to leave the group. Simply speaking, you have to change your birth year and make your age 18+ in order to get recognition as an adult. How to do it? Follow me-

Step 1: From your browser, go to microsoft.com and log into your child’s account. 

Step 2: Click on your account name/ logo that should be at the top-right corner of the screen and then tap on the ‘My Microsoft account’ option.

Step 3: Next, click on the ‘Your info’ option from the top bar.

Step 4: Tap on the ‘Edit profile info’ and change the birth year. Make sure that your age is 18 years or above.

Step 5: Now, go to account.microsoft.com and log into your account with the necessary credentials. 

Step 6: Scroll down to find the ‘Leave family group’ button and hit the button. That’s it; your problem should be solved. You may have failed before trying to leave the group but now as your age is denoted 18+ you can easily remove yourself from the Microsoft family.

You can also navigate to Settings> Accounts> Family and other members and remove yourself completely from Microsoft Windows which you could not do before as a child.

Conclusion
