    Greetings, willc01!

     

    As a parent using Family Sharing for my own family, I can definitely see where being able to remove a child that no longer has a device would be useful.  The answer depends completely on your child's age, though, so I am happy to provide a few options for you:

     

    If your child is over 13, then use this document's "Can I remove someone from a family group?" section:

    Leave Family Sharing

     

    If your child is under 13, you would have to either delete their Apple ID, or transfer them to a different family group.  The details on transferring can be found here:

    Transfer a child to a different family group

     

    Best Regards, and thank you for using the Apple Support Communities!
