Hi,

Sorry your question is vague, you want to delete a channel but you are checking Get-team -user command for what and reason?

Simple way to delete the channel in teams is here - delete-a-channel-in-teams-973f9014-53db-4165-8ab4-365021fe36b7 However to delete a channel, you must be an owner of the team.
