Deleting account for child under 13

I’m looking for instructions on removing the account of my child who’s under 13 y.o. All I was able to find is that for this I need to contact Apple Support.

iPhone 15, iOS 18

You can only either transfer the child to another Family Sharing group or delete the child's Apple Account, which will result in their data being lost. A child under 13 cannot have their own account unless it is used with a Family Group. Both of your options are available here:
