Remove someone from your family group

If you're the family manager, you can remove people from your family group in several ways.

What happens when you remove someone from your family group

  • The person you remove from your family group:
    • Keeps their Google Account and any content on their device purchased with the family payment method.
    • Can't make new purchases with the family payment method, or access any services your family group shares.
    • Gets an email alert when they're removed.
    • Loses access to anything in your Family Library.
    • Loses access to your shared storage if your family shares a Google One membership.
      • If they're out of storage, their files stay safe but they can't store new things. Learn what happens when they run out of space.
    • Loses access to extra member benefits and Google experts.
  • If the person you remove:
    • Made a purchase with the family payment method and it's already in process: You'll still be charged, but you can request a refund for unwanted or accidental purchases.
    • Added content to the Family Library: If you set up Google Play Family Library, any content they added is removed and other family members lose access to that content.
    • Is 13 (or the applicable age in your country) or older, and you and your child choose to manage their account with Family Link: Their Google Account and any devices are no longer supervised when you remove them from the family group.

What happens when you delete your family group

Important: Once you delete a family group, you can't restore it.

  • Everyone from your family group keeps their Google Accounts and any content on their device they purchased with the family payment method.
  • If your family members made a purchase with the family payment method and it's already in process, you'll still be charged, but you can request a refund for unwanted or accidental purchases.

  • If you subscribed to a family plan like YouTube Music or Google One, your family loses access to that service.
  • If your family shares a Google One membership, your family loses access to the shared storage.
    • If your family members run out of storage, their files stay safe but they can't store new things. Learn what happens when they run out of space.
