I forgot my child's apple id password, and cannot recover, because the phone number was expired, so no way to recover the apple id, so I want to remove my child from family sharing to add again, I have 6 family sharing right now. so how do I remove it?
One way is to try to recover the account:
For information about 'How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password', click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT204921
If you want to use your method and this is a "child" account (you don't say how old this person is and anybody on the planet is a child of somebody else), you can't remove a child under 13 from Family Sharing. You can either:
Move a child to another group using Family Sharing - https://support.apple.com/HT201080
or:
Delete their Apple ID account entirely. Doing this means the child will no longer be able to re-download purchases.
One way to do this would be to log into the unwanted "child" account and request deletion of the AppleID. You should have the ID and password from when you first set up the account, or can recover the password according to information provided in the referenced links below.
