How do I delete a recording now that meeting recordings are not being uploaded to Stream

Hi All
I Hope this can help some of you. I have found a way to delete the meeting recording (within Teams).
Only the person who initiated the recording can delete the recording. This person will need to 'Join' the meeting again > Click 'Show conversation' icon and locate the recording > click the 3 dots and select Delete.
Hope this helps you all, any questions please ask or if you have found a better method please let me know.
Sadly rejoining the meeting doesn't work for us, but it was the most promising. When rejoining there was addition options in the ellipsis menu, including delete! This button wasn't greyed out, but clicking it unfortunately did nothing. The person who started the recording and myself tried clicking it several times, and also clicking and then waiting.. but unfortunately it did nothing - and the recording we don't want visible due to accidental disclosure is still available.
Unfortunately our recording is not in MS Onedrive or MS Stream, when we click download the URL is:
https://as-api.asm.skype.com/v1/objects/<Unique ID>/views/video
Context: We had an inter-organisation meeting created via Outlook using a shared mailbox to send the invite. So there is not even a team we can delete as a nuclear option to force the recording to be deleted.
The fact we can't delete something due to accidental disclosure is absolutely ridiculous, I can't believe MS has even released this. Teams offers no support services, the support page just says contact your admin. We have contacted our Microsoft Partner, they have only suggested the things they have found online like this thread - they have no additional contact with someone from MS to try resolve this.
We are definitely going to go back to Slack, although we have to pay per user for Slack even though all our users include Teams as part of their O365 subscriptions - the complete lack of direct support from MS is complete deal breaker.
