Good afternoon, I would like to know something.
You see I created an azure account to do some tests a few months ago, I finished doing those tests, I canceled my azure subscription and unlinked my credit card.
But now I have a doubt, there is some risk of leaving my account linked to azure there without doing anything. In the sense that at some point because of this it could cause me problems in the future, such as canceling my Microsoft account or something like that?
I need the confirmation that the microsoft account associated with that azure account will not be deleted regardless of never using azure again
Shouldn't be a problem as long as you keep it active.

So just logging in would be enough? Not having to buy anything or any kind of real action in azure?
And if this is the case, we suppose that I forget to enter for a long time, I have to assume that Microsoft would still notify me before closing my account so that I can do something about it, right?
Yes, that's correct, at least once in two years or if you have a cert linked then it appears that could also qualify.

An Azure account simply uses a microsoft account for authentication and a billing method.
If you used online services associated with the account then this would count as activity.

You can follow along here to cancel your Azure subscription.

If you have a free trial or pay-as-you-go subscription, you don't have to wait 90 days for the subscription to automatically delete. You can delete your subscription three days after you cancel it. The Delete subscription option isn't available until three days after you cancel your subscription.

Should be it.
Note: 90 days after you cancel a subscription, the subscription will automatically be deleted.
