Delete a Tenant

Question

I am trying to delete a tenant. i get the check to see if the tenant can be deleted. the only warning is to delete enterprise applications. when i view the enterprise applications, the only remaining applications are Microsoft First run (or whatever they are called) applications, and i can't delete them. how am i supposed to get past this to delete a tenant?

Thank you for your post! We had a similar issue not to long ago, I'll post the solution below.

Troubleshooting Steps:
To solve the Enterprise Applications blockage during a tenant deletion attempt:

• On your windows desktop search, Open PowerShell ISE as Administrator
• Install the needed module, type at promt: Install-Module MSOnline
• Then: Connect-msolservice
• Input a global admin’s credentials for your azure tenant. (eg. User: admin@[organization].onMicrosoft.com + password)
• If we have any output please run the following command at the prompt: Get-msolserviceprincipal | remove-msolserviceprincipal (Note you will see a lot of red output on this command, these are applications that cannot be deleted from the tenant, but will not stop you from doing so.)
• Log in back to the Azure tenant, and try one more time to delete it.

Enterprise Application should now have a green check mark and you should be able to delete your tenant

If you have any other questions or are still running into issue after following these steps, please let me know.
Thank you for your time and patience throughout this issue.

Those apps should not be the problem, but check if you have anything listed under the App Registrations blade (both tabs).
