Uninstalling your Apple ID account

Good evening. I'd like to know how you can delete your Apple ID. I gave my younger brother an old iPhone, I created a account for him. He bought a new phone, not an iPhone. And. I'd like to delete his apple account. He's tied to me by family access because he's not an adult. But now I don't need Ai di. And it only prevents me on my phone

If this is a "child's account":


One way to do this would be to log into the unwanted "child" account and request deletion of the Apple ID. You should have the ID and password from when you first set up the account, or can recover the password according to information provided in the referenced links below.
