How to delete a Azure acc without deleting a connected Microsoft acc

Question

Hi,

I have my old-created Microsoft account + also created Azure account with the same email. Is there any option for how to delete the azure account only? I don't need it anymore and I also can't log in to MS Teams with my personal account - the azure account is every time offered.

ps: I don't have an active subscription so what I need is to unlink my microsoft account to an azure account - just make it personal

@Tomas Patak Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

Please refer to this article: Explain how to Cancel your Azure subscription you cannot delete the azure account

Click on the Cancel subscription link from the next screen to Cancel Azure Cloud Subscription.
Click on the Yes button to cancel the subscription option, and provide the reason for deletion of the azure account then click on the button that you can able to see on the bottom of the page.

Adding more information: When you close your Microsoft account. Closing a Microsoft account deletes your Outlook mailbox, your Skype ID and contacts, your files saved in OneDrive, and your Xbox Live data and Gamer Tag. Closing your account means you won’t be able to use it to sign in to the Microsoft products and services you’ve been using. So before you close your account, take the time to tie up loose ends, cancel subscriptions, and make sure you don’t leave anything important behind—like files in your OneDrive, money from gift cards, emails in Outlook.com,

Since Azure runs on Microsoft’s identity system, you could close the associated Microsoft account. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12412/microsoft-account-how-to-close-account

If you have a Azure AD account via your organization, the AAD admin could delete the account. If you selected the wrong country by accident, unfortunately you need to contact Azure support or sign up with a different email address.
