I am trying to delete a tenant from Azure but am being prevented from doing so as the system is indicating that I need to delete licence-based subscriptions from the account. I don't have any subscriptions.

Has anyone come across this before an can offer a solution?

    Hi @NorthernApe

    If you can't delete the organization
    When you configured your Azure AD organization, you may have also activated license-based subscriptions for your organization like Azure AD Premium P2, Microsoft 365 Business Standard, or Enterprise Mobility + Security E5. To avoid accidental data loss, you can't delete a organization until the subscriptions are fully deleted. The subscriptions must be in a Deprovisioned state to allow organization deletion. An Expired or Canceled subscription moves to the Disabled state, and the final stage is the Deprovisioned state.
