    Hello @leesaye Yes, you can delete your Azure account without deleting your MS account. To do so, please login to your Azure portal, navigate to the Subscriptions page, select the Azure subscription of interest and select the "Cancel subscription" option. Follow the next of instructions that follow and complete the process. Once the subscription cancelled is completed, your account will continue to exist for some time in archival mode to facilitate a reactivation of the account, if needed. After this, the archived account will be permanently deleted. You can continue to use your Microsoft account (like Hotmail) without any interruptions.

    Hello everyone,

    to delete your azure account follow the steps:

    1- Delete subscription by deleting all the resources first: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/cancel-azure-subscription#delete-subscriptions

    2- Delete your tenant: go to Entra ID > manage tenants > select your tenant > delete tenant

    Make sure you delete all the blue highlighted options before deleting the azure tenant:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/users/directory-delete-howto

    3- you will receive a token error after that confirming that your azure account has been deleted.

    You can continue to use your Microsoft account (like Hotmail) without any interruptions. Please don't forget to "Accept the answer" or "Up-Vote " if it was helpful .
