Error when using Remove-SPOSite command on PowerShell

Question

Hi,

I'm working with Sharepoint Online, since past year I was creating Sharepoint sites from a personal powershell script, using PnP and Sharepoint modules.

It was working fine but since last week I'm getting this error:

Remove-SPOSite : Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

I tried it with differents accounts (all Global administrators), on differents sites and in differents tenants, but the error keeps there.

Could have it been an update on Sharepoint Online? Is there someone else with the same problem?

How can I solve this?

PD: I need to use this command, cause I create sites from a template, so then I have to change the url and reuse the original when I run the script again

Thanks for your reply Tin,

But sorry, I didn't understand. What permissions should I check?

If I tried it always with Gobal Administrators accounts, and with powershell running as admin, with powershell ISE and with the Sharepoint online management ps console.
