    Hi @Anonymous ,

    You could open the next url. If you find any subscriptions, just cancel it. Probably, it takes 48-72 hours when the changes are showing in Azure.

    https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/Home#/subscriptions

    More information.

    @Anonymous
    Thank you for your post and I apologize for the delayed response!

    When it comes to deleting your tenant and running into the Delete all license-based subscriptions error, can you make sure you don't have any subscriptions within your Azure Portal or Microsoft 365 portal.

    Microsoft 365 - https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/Home#/subscriptions
    Azure Portal - https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_Azure_Billing/SubscriptionsBlade

    If you don't have any active subscriptions and are still having issues deleting your tenant, I'd recommend creating a support request with our Subscriptions Management team similar to the below.

    Thank you for your time and patience throughout this issue.
