Unable to delete Entra ID tenant - please help.

Hi Władysław Lastowski ,

This is an expected behaviour.A few enterprise applications can't be deleted in the Microsoft Entra admin center and might block you from deleting the tenant.

1.Install the Microsoft Graph PowerShell module by running the following command:

Install-Module Microsoft.Graph

2.Install the Az PowerShell module by running the following command:

Install-Module -Name Az

3.Create or use a managed administrative account from the tenant that you want to delete. For example: ******@tenanttodelete.onmicrosoft.com.

4.Open PowerShell and connect to Microsoft Entra ID by using admin credentials with the following command: Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "Application.ReadWrite.All

5.Run the following commands to verify your tenant context with the Az PowerShell module. This step is a safety check to confirm you're connected to the correct tenant. Don't skip these steps or you risk deleting enterprise apps from the wrong tenant.

Clear-AzContext -Scope

6.Run the following command to remove service principals. Run the command multiple times until all service principals are removed, since some might fail on the first attempt due to dependencies.

Get-MgServicePrincipal -All

7.If some service principals can't be deleted, disable them so they don't block tenant deletion, and then retry the removal:

$ServicePrincipalUpdate

8.Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as a Global Administrator, and remove any new admin account that you created in step 3.

9.Retry tenant deletion from the Microsoft Entra admin center.

Before following the above steps, please do refer the below document for some warningd and checks to ensure smooth deletion.
