There are several different ways for family members and organizers to leave or be removed from a Microsoft family group depending on their role.  

Before leaving, family members and organizers should remove saved places and location alerts they would not like to remain in the group. Location alerts must be removed by the individual who set them for saved places to be deleted. Leaving or being removed from a family group will not delete Microsoft accounts. 

Warning: Family groups without an organizer and at least one other family member will be deleted.
