When I was setting up a child account it said the first attempt failed because the iCloud account was already taken, so I went through the process picking a different account. Low and behold both accounts were set up so now I have my child listed twice with different AppleIDs. How can I delete the extra one?
null-OTHER, Family Sharing
If the account is for a child under 13, the only way to remove them is to transfer them to another Family Sharing account. Obviously, that's not going to work in this case. I'd suggest contacting Apple Support and seeing if they can remove the duplicate for you. Start with the Contact Support button at the top right of every page of the forums.

Settings family sharing and remove the other scout from the family admin
You cannot remove a child under the age of 13 from the Family Sharing account.
Move a child to another group using Family Sharing - Apple Support
So if you visit https://privacy.apple.com/ and log in using the child account, you can kick of a deletion request process which, when seen through to the end, will result in the extra child account being deleted. Hopefully seeing this will keep the support lines free from those who have a similar need.
This is a child account under the age of 13. There is no obvious option for removing the account because of the age of the child.
Thanks for the follow up! Good luck.
Two accounts for the same child got added to my family share account. How can I remove the extra one?
