Unable to delete Azure Active Directory tenant because of orphaned "enterprise applications"

Question

Hi All,

I'm trying to delete an Azure AD tenant but I am unable to because of remaining enterprise applications.
I have removed all that I can using PowerShell that are not blocked for being Microsoft Internal.

There are a couple of managed identities that would have been made for Azure Data Explorer clusters which have been deleted. These managed identities have no owner or users/groups assigned to them.

The subscription they were created in no longer exists and there are no other subscriptions in this tenant.
I have global administrator rights but I still don't have the right permissions to delete these objects.

Has anyone had a workaround for this?

Thanks,
Joe

Hi @Joe Hubbert · Thank you for reaching out.

I worked on this issue few days back and found that there is no other option than opening a support ticket and engage the Product Team to delete the object from the backend.

The best practice is to turn off the Managed Identity before deleting the resource.
