If i leave a family group at 13 after changing my age will my account be deleted?

Hello, Alessandro. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

Your account will not be deleted, but usually a child cannot leave the family group they are on unless the adult that gave consent to him remove him from the family.

Also, usually a child account should not be able to change his birthdate unless he follows a proper verification procedure or has access to the adult account. However, the child should not be able to remove himself from the family even if he is able to change his birthdate.

If you have any question, please let me know.

Hello,

Check this webpage for information on leaving a family group as the organizer: Leave family group or remove members. Check under the dropdown menu called Leave family group (organizer).

Did you try to change these settings at xbox.com/privacy? And is your account listed at 18 years or older, or did it age up into adult status and was previous a child account?

Thank you,

I’m having the same issue where I can’t leave. I can’t change my Xbox settings or even access the page on search browsers because it says I’m in a family group yet I didn’t join one and no-one is added to mine. My age on my account is correctly 21, but it still forces the family group restrictions with no way to stop them. I can’t even look at my Xbox profile anymore!

I realized what counts as a "child account", and its anything under 13. For some reason, if you are above 13 and are in a family, it makes things a lot more complicated. So I left my family group, then when to settings and was able to change it.

Hi, thank you for your response,

I understand I won't be able to leave the family as I have a child account, and I'm not over 18, but I still don't understand why my dad can't remove me from the family, I've been looking for a while and there are a few people having the same issue, the error message "Only a family organiser can remove someone from the family", but my dad IS the only family organiser.

the issue I was having in games was "You cant play with content created by others", which has limited me from quite a few features, so I tried to change this through Xbox but I couldn't because I was part of a family.

So my dad tried to fix this by changing my content restriction age to 18, which didn't work, and we ended up resorting to trying to remove me from the family group, which also seems to not be working.

I looked around some more and a fix to any one of these issues would help massively,

I also think it would help if I mentioned that my account age is 13, but if there is a way we can change that app either through Microsoft Family or my account settings that would help as well.
