How to Delete Your Spotify Kids Account: Step-by-Step Guide
Spotify Kids is a child-friendly version of Spotify designed for younger listeners. It is included with eligible Spotify Premium Family subscriptions and allows parents to create separate accounts for children with curated music and content.
If your child no longer uses Spotify Kids, or you want to remove their profile for privacy or account management reasons, the process is simple once you know where to look.
This guide explains how to delete a Spotify Kids account, what happens afterward, and how to manage Family subscriptions.
What Is Spotify Kids?
Spotify Kids is a separate app connected to a parent’s Spotify Premium Family account. It offers:
- Kid-friendly music
- Curated playlists
- Simplified controls
- Restricted content
- Parent-managed profiles
Children do not have independent Spotify accounts in the traditional sense. Their profiles are tied directly to the family manager account.
Before You Delete a Spotify Kids Account
Before removing the profile, keep these points in mind:
Deleting a Spotify Kids profile will:
- Remove the child’s listening history
- Delete saved favorites
- Erase profile settings
- Remove offline downloads
- Disconnect the profile from Spotify Kids
The main Spotify Premium Family subscription remains active unless you cancel it separately.
How to Delete a Spotify Kids Account
The process must be completed through the main Spotify account holder.
Step 1: Open the Spotify App
Launch the main Spotify app on:
- Android
- iPhone
- iPad
Sign in using the Premium Family manager account.
Step 2: Go to Account Settings
Tap:
- Your profile picture
- Settings
- Account
Depending on your device, Spotify may open account settings in a browser window.
Step 3: Open Premium Family Settings
Locate:
- Premium Family
- Manage Family Accounts
This section shows all connected family members and Spotify Kids profiles.
Step 4: Select the Kids Profile
Choose the Spotify Kids account you want to remove.
Spotify may label it as:
- Child profile
- Kids account
- Spotify Kids user
Step 5: Remove or Delete the Profile
Tap:
- Remove Member
- Delete Kids Profile
The wording may vary slightly depending on app version and device.
Confirm the removal when prompted.
How to Delete Spotify Kids Through a Web Browser
You can also manage family accounts through Spotify’s website.
Visit:
https://www.spotify.com/account/
Then:
- Sign in
- Open Premium Family
- Select the child profile
- Remove the account
What Happens After Deleting the Kids Profile?
Once removed:
- The child can no longer log into Spotify Kids
- Downloaded music disappears
- Favorites and playlists are erased
- The profile name becomes available again
The Family subscription itself remains active.
You can create a new child profile later if needed.
Can You Recover a Deleted Spotify Kids Account?
In some cases, Spotify may temporarily retain profile information for a short period, but there is no guaranteed recovery option once the profile is deleted.
If you removed the wrong account accidentally, try contacting Spotify support quickly.
How to Cancel Spotify Premium Family Completely
If you no longer want Spotify Kids at all, you can cancel the Family subscription.
Go to:
https://www.spotify.com/account/subscription/
Then:
- Select Change Plan
- Choose Cancel Premium
- Confirm cancellation
After cancellation:
- Spotify Kids access ends
- Family member accounts lose Premium features
- Accounts revert to Spotify Free
Common Problems When Removing Spotify Kids Accounts
“I Don’t See the Kids Profile”
Make sure you are signed into the Family manager account, not a regular member account.
Only the subscription owner can manage child profiles.
“Remove Member Button Missing”
Spotify occasionally changes menu layouts between updates.
Try:
- Updating the app
- Using a desktop browser
- Opening the account page directly
“Spotify Kids App Still Works”
Sometimes cached login data remains on the child’s device.
Try:
- Logging out manually
- Removing the app
- Reinstalling Spotify Kids
Is Spotify Kids Safe?
Spotify Kids is designed to provide a more controlled listening environment than the standard Spotify app. However, parents should still review content occasionally and supervise younger children when using online services.
Features include:
- Age-based content filtering
- Human-curated playlists
- No explicit content in younger age groups
- Limited search functionality
Alternatives to Spotify Kids
- YouTube Kids
- Amazon Kids+
- Apple Music family parental controls
Each platform offers different parental controls, content restrictions, and educational features.
Final Thoughts
Deleting a Spotify Kids account is handled through the Spotify Premium Family manager account and only takes a few minutes. The most important thing is ensuring you are signed into the correct parent account before attempting to remove the profile.
If you simply want to limit usage temporarily, removing device access or uninstalling the app may be enough. But for permanent removal, deleting the child profile through Family settings is the proper method.
