How to delete Teams account

Answer 1

Hi @Stephen

Closing a Microsoft account means you won’t be able to use it to sign in to any Microsoft products or services, including Outlook.com or Hotmail, OneDrive, Xbox, Skype, Office or Microsoft 365, Rewards and Microsoft Certification.

Sign in to start closing your Microsoft personal account. Close account

If you're prompted to sign in and/or verify your account, follow the instructions.

Check that the page shows the correct Microsoft account, and then click Next.

Read the list and click the checkboxes to acknowledge you’ve read each item.

Choose to have the re-open window set to 30 or 60 days.

In the Select a reason drop-down list, choose an explanation for why you're closing the account.

Click Mark account for closure.

Yes, if it is a personal Teams account associated with your Microsoft account, you will need to go through the process of deactivating the whole Microsoft account as Teams is a built in feature now. If you don't wish to use it, you can uninstall, or sign out of it.

For a professional Teams account, your admin would need to modify or revoke the Office license to block Teams access. Again, best to just sign out and not use it than to mess up your account access.

That said, Teams is a very powerful tool, and it is highly recommended that you integrate it into your business/personal lifestyle.
