Answer 1

Yes, it is possible to delete your Azure account while keeping your Microsoft account intact.

To completely remove your Azure account:

• Go to portal.azure.com and search for "Cost Management + Billing"
• Select the subscription you want to cancel
• Click on "Cancel subscription"

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

Answer 2

I don't think the answer is correct, because I did the same and now it's few months, still my account is active and accessible.
