How to delete a family account in Windows 10

Windows 10 is a system that gives us various ways to manage users who access the system. One of its features is the family group function, which gives the possibility that as users we can manage various Microsoft accounts to always be connected, but especially helps to protect the little ones in different devices that have the operating system Windows 10 as well as on Xbox One and Android, (includes Android computers running Microsoft Launcher). The creation of this family account is completely free in Windows 10..

Family Account Advantages
The advantages of having this type of account are:
  • Allows access to reports on the activity of one of the minors.
  • It allows setting or defining time limits spent in front of the device screen.
  • We can check the location of one of the users of the account.
  • We are able to limit the websites and games that are accessed.

All this is monitored from the following site:

Microsoft family account

When we will no longer use this account, we can delete the administration account and the purpose of this tutorial is to explain how to perform this process completely in Windows 10.
