If your child is under 13 or the applicable age in your country, you can delete or restore their Google Account. To let others use the device without supervision, you must remove your child’s account from the Android device or Chromebook.
Remove or delete your child's account
Restore your child’s Google Account
If you delete your child’s account, you have a limited amount of time to restore it before you lose their emails, photos, and account information.
Important:
- This option is only available if you created your child’s Google Account for them and they’re under 13 or the applicable age in your country.
- To restore your child's supervised Google Account, sign in with your parent account.
- If you deleted your child’s supervised Google Account and your family group, your child’s account can’t be restored.
Remove your child's account from a device
When you remove your child's account from a device, information associated with that account is removed from that specific device, which includes emails, contacts, device settings, and parent supervision settings.
What happens when you remove your child’s account from their device:
- Parental supervision still exists for the account, but not on that specific device.
- You can add the removed account to a new device.
- Your child can still access emails, contacts, and photos associated with their account on other devices.
- Your child’s account isn’t “deleted” and may remain signed in on other devices.
We recommend you reset the device to factory settings to ensure all app data is removed from the device after you remove your child's account. Learn how to factory reset your Android device.
