Deleting a Team from within Teams client UI seems to leave the associated SharePoint group site
- Jan 09, 2018
Further investigation shows for our E2 tenant, when you delete a Team via the Teams App, the O365 Group gets deleted, but the corresponding SharePoint site is given a LockState of "No Access", so even if you have permission to the site, it refuses to display in the browser. To see all these sites on your tenant, use the following PowerShell:
get-SPOSite | Select URL, LockState | Where lockstate -eq 'NoAccess'
To unlock the site, so you can browse it again, use this:
set-SPOSite -identity <Site URL> -lockstate "unlock"
And if you want to then delete it:
Remove-SPOSite -identity <Site URL>
Hope that helps

Hi Betty Stolwyk - we were seeing this a few months back, but testing again today it is working for us, be it slow for the SPO Site and MBX to be removed, they do go within 30mins (as others have shared above).
