Removing games from child account

Quindaro Joe · May 16, 2015

How do I go about removing a game from the allowed list of games from a child account? When prompted to answer who and how often to play a game I mistakenly "Always Allow".

Can't change privacy settings/use other features

You can remove a child by either promoting it (over 17) from the child account's Account Management, or by removing the parent/child relationship entirely from the parent account.

Removing GamerTag from Child Account

This is how to promote an account from child to adult on Xbox 360

Age is determined by the date of birth on the Xbox Live account. Once a person turns 18, he or she can follow the steps here to promote their account.

On your Xbox 360 console, sign in to Xbox Live using the account that you want to change.

Go to Settings and select Account.

In the Your Information panel, select Promote Child Account.

Note “Promote Child Account” will only be available if the date of birth for the account indicates that you have reached adult age for your country or region.

If you’re prompted to sign out of a current game session, select Yes.

On the “Promote your current Xbox Live child account to an adult account” screen, select Continue.

Steps 6 through 9 apply only to accounts that are currently billed to a credit or debit card. If your account has a prepaid subscription, go to step 10.

On the “To promote your account, replace the credit card that is associated with the account with a new card or payment method” screen, select Continue.

Note The same credit card can be used again. However, the credit card details must be re-entered.

Enter the name, credit card type, credit card number, expiration date, and verification code for the replacement credit card, and then select Next.

Enter the billing address, city, state, and postal code for your credit card, and then select Next.

Verify your contact information, and then select Done.

Accept the Xbox Live Terms of Use and the Privacy Statement.

On the “Your Xbox Live account is now an adult account” screen, select Done.

Note If your Xbox Live account doesn’t change to an adult account, try signing out and then signing back in.

H there, I'm not familiar with allowing and not allowing specific games as I thought it was by the rating, but I would suggest going through the following link. You can change the privacy settings to allow certain content and hopefully block the game you're
speaking of:

Yes you can. You need to log in as the parent that currently has control over the account. From there you can remove the child from the family. Once this has been completed the Childs account will be required to be attached to another parent account before
they can do anything.

I'm not sure but it may do this the instant the child account is removed from the parent account, or the next time the child logs in.

There is two ways that MS determines if an account is a child account.

1. DOB on the account when the account is originally setup.

2. If it is in a family as a child account.

Until an account reaches its 18th birthday from the DOB when it was originally setup it is REQUIRED to be in a family as a child account.

It will NOT always graduate to an adult account once it hits 18 sometimes you have to sign into any adult account at account.microsoft.com/family and remove the child account from the family at which point
it will be put into its own family as an adult

Keep in mind that it will allow you to remove the child account from the family even if the DOB is under 18 but the child account will NOT be able to do anything until its added back to a family as a child
account.

So in your situation the first thing I would try and do is sign into the adult account at account.microsoft.com/family and remove the child account from the family and see if that fixes your situation.

Hey FortniteMom,

Child accounts are not allowed to remove themselves from the Family without having an adult account remove it for them.

Once the child account graduates to 18 years of age from the birthdate used when the account was created, then that account is no longer a child account but could still be a part of a Family and at that point the account could be removed by itself.

Overview

The primary purpose of creating a family is to make it easier to manage parental controls and online safety for children. You can manage who is in your family from your Xbox One console, or from any Windows 10 device.

Any adult in the family can remove another family member.
Children and teens are prohibited from making this change.
When a child is removed from the family, they will be unable to use the Xbox service until they have been added to another family. See

Add a new member to your family.
Adults removed from the family no longer have the ability to manage the child accounts in the family. However, they'll have full rights to their account and will be able to use home console sharing when signed in to the home console.

By any chance is the adult account in charge of the child account on the same Xbox the child uses? Adult accounts can remove child accounts under the Family straight from the Xbox if they are able to sign into the adult account.
