How can I remove my organization from Teams?

So when the Pandemic hit I installed teams on my personal computer and used my personal e-mail. It asked for organization, so I added the name of my one-man company (Stent AS). Doing this I think I registered Teams as a business account.

 

But as my one-man company is not operational, I want to remove it and just have teams for personal user. So I found this where it says "Teams for personal use".

 

Clicking this opens a page with this popup:

This basically says that I'm already using teams with a company account.

So how do I unregister /de-assosiate my company from Teams?

    sstieng Hi, it sounds as if you created a Teams free org. You can use both a Teams free org. and Teams for personal use with the same account. You simply use the "tenant switcher" in the top right corner (I do it myself).

     

    This is usually what you need to check when you want to leave an organization.

     

    For work/school account go here to see if you have an org. to leave https://myaccount.microsoft.com/organizations

    For personal account go here https://myapps.microsoft.com/ (the link "Manage my organizations" will take you to the right place).

    You can also sign in to your personal account to see if you're using any alias on it https://account.microsoft.com/profile

    Note: Use InPrivate / Incognito sessions to avoid cached credentials.

      ChristianJBergstromI tried to follow the steps from the last link (leave a Teams Free Org). and I'm running into issues.

      Once I click the leave button I get the followup question to "Leave 813691b8-ebf1-4128-8dd5-1313c69e63c5?"

      upon clicking "leave" as conformation i get:

       

      "Something went wrong

      I tried to delete the organization since it is causing issues where the desktop app is not able to load my personal account. But the organization account is also not available...

      Hi ChristianJBergstrom .

      As you can see I don't have a tenant switcher.

       

      In https://myapps.microsoft.com/ there are listed no apps.

      Trying  https://myaccount.microsoft.com/organizations it will not accept my username / pass that I'm using in the other logins. . Trying to reset the password it says that the account is not set up for password reset.  And I'm not using any aliases.

       

      I discover though that when I accessed https://myapps.microsoft.com/ it showed a different company.

      From here I can access My Account.

      From here I can access "Administer organizations". So I removed the one company that was connected to my hotmail account (old e-mail I used years ago).  But doing that I can no longer access "Administer organizations".

        UPDATE
        So in the top right corner I can change organization. So now I can access my company organization. I don't want to shut down this one 🙂 But would love to not use it for Teams.
