    Hi @Subhash B,

    If you connect to Teams Powershell with a Teams admin account and use the following cmdlet to delete the private channel, would it succeed? Or would it return more detailed error message?

    Remove-TeamChannel -GroupID (Get-Team -DisplayName <team display name>).GroupID -DisplayName <private channel display name>
