Will deleting a game on a child account delete it from the parent account?

Shill Hill · Feb 9, 2025

So I have a family account and two different Xbox consoles. But on the system, we share the same game pass. I want to delete a game from the child’s account but is that going to also delete it from the parent account?

On a second note, do the family accounts share the same amount of storage as if it was one console instead of two?

Sorry for not specifying on what I meant when I said delete. What I really meant to say was uninstall. So would that affect it?

Depending on what you mean by deleting the game, it could have an affect but it might not. If it was purchased on the parent account and you just delete it from the console your child is using, then it won't remove it from the parent account. If it was bought on the child's account and you're refunding the game, then the parent account would not be able to access it unless they buy it.

Family settings don't affect things like storage. You would just have whatever storage is available on the console you're using.

If you're both using the same console and you delete it from that console, then you won't be able to access it on either account.

"What happens to the child account when the parent account is deleted? (Once again, not closed, DELETED)"

The child account will be orphaned, hence, no parent account will be able to make changes on their privacy and online safety settings.
