Hi Ronak, 

You need to use ManagedCustomerService.mutateLink() to unlink an AdWords client account from an AdWords MCC account. The code snippet provided here shows how to terminate a link. This operation can be done as either the manager or client account.

Hello Shwetha,

Yes but this is to terminate link between client and MCC manager if client has its own adwords account, but lets say suppose I have created an adwords account via  ManagedCustomerOperation and I want to remove or unlink that via API. is it possible to do so?

Hi Ronak,

The procedure to unlink an account created via ManagedCustomerService is the same. You need to use ManagedCustomerService.mutateLink() method and set the LinkStatus to INACTIVE to unlink an account. Every account must have either a user with administrative access or a manager account with administrative ownership. If you try to unlink an account which doesn't have either of these, the operation will not be successful and you'll encounter ManagedCustomerServiceError.CANNOT_UNLINK_ACCOUNT_WITHOUT_ACTIVE_USER error.
