remote account delete with multiple users

I gifted a new iMac to someone and we both have admin accounts on the machine. I would like to remotely delete my account but not affect their account or the iMac. If I understand the “erase” function on find my device, it will erase the iMac instead of just my account?

You can't remotely delete the account, and yes, it will erase the entire Mac. You also cannot sign out of iCloud without your password.

You'll need to figure out a way to sign out of iCloud on that Mac and delete the account. Best way would be to do it in person.
