If you own a domain associated with said tenant, you can try the "takeover" process: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/users/domains-admin-takeover
Otherwise, nothing you can do except wait for the tenant to expire.

- janakkhadkaApr 03, 2024MCTExactly, I need to understand when a tenant expires and when it becomes available for others for re-use. I've noticed a tenant that isn't available for use, and upon checking, there are no active services on it. I'm unsure about the owner of this tenant. Is there a way to utilize this tenant? Or is there a possibility to work with Microsoft to make the tenant name available for use again? Any guidance would be appreciated.
