As the message suggests, the user is the last owner, so if you want to remove her you need to promote some other user to owner first. That said, changing an email address or display name shouldn't result in changing the underlying account or its group/team membership. Did you create a new account instead?

  Hi Harris021
  
  If you go to Manage team > Channels, you can see a full list of channels including the Private ones.
  
  On any private channels that you are not added to, you can click onto ... > Show channel owners and you can see if this user is a part of it. You'll have to repeat the steps for other private channels that you are not a member of.
  
  For any channels that you are a member of, in the Channel tab, go to ... > Manage channel and see the members list.
  
  A manual process but it will help you to track down where this person is listed as the last owner of a private channel.
  
  Hope that helps.
  
  Cheers and best wishes
