Good morning,

I recently opened a microsoft account for my business but accidentally misspelt the name of my company on registration. I know...

I have since renamed it but I have a sharepoint site which I cannot delete. I have tried to follow the instruction in the following link but I cannot delete the site as the setting 'site information' from which I can delete it. is not present.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/delete-a-sharepoint-site-or-subsite-bc37b743-0cef-475e-9a8c-8fc4d40179fb

I am the administrator for my company but I can't seem to find a solution. Any help would be apprechiated.

Kind regards

Stefano

    Dear Stefano 

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community. We are happy to assist you. 

    Regarding your question, if you can't find the Site Information > Delete site feature you might want to re-check if your site is Root Site. 

    Because you mentioned you are your company Admin, you can check for Root Site on SharePoint Admin Center > Active Sites > sort by alphabet, the first site is the Root Site although we don't recommend deleting Root Site since Root Site is the top-level site of your SharePoint tenant and cannot be deleted.  

    For more details about Root site please refer to 

    Modernize your root site - SharePoint in Microsoft 365 | Microsoft Learn 

    For more details about deleting Site please refer to 

    Delete a site - SharePoint in Microsoft 365 | Microsoft Learn 

    You can consider making a new site and refrain from using Root Site in the future because it tends to cause a lot of problems.

    If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask, also if you found the information useful, feel free to mark it as the answer - it can really help others in the community who are facing similar questions.
