Hello propp propp,

Welcome to Xbox Community Forums. We appreciate for sharing your concern with us and we hope that you are doing well today.

To answer directly on your question, the answer is No. Your sibling's account will not be deleted if you are going to delete a game from your account. Kindly refer to this article How to close your Microsoft account - Microsoft Support.

But if for some reason you are going to delete your own account and you manage a child's Microsoft account, their account stays open when yours is closed. However, after your Microsoft account is closed, your child will be stopped when they try to sign in to Xbox, computers running Windows 8 or later, or Windows phones, until they get consent from another parent account.

We hope that we have informed you well. If you have other clarifications, you can get back to us by replying to this post.

We are looking forward to your response.

We will be glad to follow up and help you.



Sincerely,

Hello, LilPupper21. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

Do you and your sibling share the same Xbox to play games?

If that's the case, yes, once you delete a game from the console, every user registered on it loses access to it unless you re-download it.

In case you're referring to a something else, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Kind regards,

Arturo.

Hello nicole staley,

Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community.

When you delete a game from your account, it will also be removed from any other accounts that have that game installed on the same console. This is because the game is installed on the console itself, rather than on individual accounts. If you want to keep the game on your sibling's account, you can either reinstall it on their account or create a separate account for them to use on the console.

Hope I helped! Please do not hesitate to ask if you have further concerns.
