deleting teams organization
Here are details on the various admin roles and who can do what: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/using-admin-roles
Assign users to each role
You can assign users to these roles in Azure AD. To learn how to assign administrative roles to a user in Azure AD, see Assign a user to administrator roles in Azure Active Directory.
Hi there Laurie Pottmeyer thanks for your reply.
Although we do not use Azure AD. We are using the free Teams.
niovic Someone who is an admin needs to make you an admin so you can delete teams. Here's how to do that: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/delete-your-teams-free-organization-2c28cfcf-3fbf-497c-938f-8815a8f6a6b9
There is more documentation here for the free version of Teams but your first step is figuring out who the current admin is and having them make you an admin: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/welcome-to-microsoft-teams-free-6d79a648-6913-4696-9237-ed13de64ae3c?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us

The problem is that none of the members are admin thus no one can delete the organization created, or make an admin someone else.- Got it.
Here are instructions on applying a new owner to an orphaned team: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/assign-a-new-owner-to-an-orphaned-group-86bb3db6-8857-45d1-95c8-f6d540e45732
Here is someone who had a similar issue as you using Free Teams: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/how-to-delete-a-team-without-owner-in-microsoft/a7b06619-6142-4ef4-9649-a55ba7de672d
Hopefully one of those two links points you in the right direction.
Thanks!
