I am an adult Microsoft account holder. I was invited into a Microsoft Family group by another person. I no longer wish to be associated with that family group for personal safety reasons. I have removed Family Safety permissions where possible, but my account does not display a "Leave family group" option. I need assistance removing my Microsoft account from this family group and ensuring there are no remaining Family Safety or organizer controls associated with my account.

I am able to sign into my account and control my account credentials. I have changed my password and secured the account. My concern is specifically that I cannot remove myself from the family group because the interface does not provide a Leave option.

    Sorry to hear that you are having trouble with this situation. Could you please sign in with your Microsoft account at account.microsoft.com/family and share a screenshot of what you see there?

    Please make sure to hide or remove any personal information before sharing the screenshot.
