I want to delete my Microsoft Entra ID tenant.

Question

All users, enterprise applications, and resources are already removed. However, deletion is blocked due to Azure subscription permission issues.

I cannot access or remove the subscription, and I also don’t have access to create a support request in Azure portal.

Please help escalate and remove the subscription or provide a way to delete the tenant.

Answer 1

If you are a Global Admin of the tenant, then you can elevate your permissions to become the owner to every Azure subscription associated with that tenant (and remove it afterwards)

Follow https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/elevate-access-global-admin?tabs=azure-portal%2Centra-audit-logs
