Run the Teams and Groups activity report and use the CSV it generates to decide which teams to remove. You could easily script some PowerShell to read the CSV and send email to the team owners before you remove the teams.

aarohbits Why not use a Groups expiration policy to remove unused groups automatically? https://petri.com/office-365-expiration-policy-auto-renews-user-activity

BTW, the link to the TechNet gallery for the script to analyze inactive Teams and groups is now incorrect as the Gallery is no longer being used. You can find details of the latest version of the script (4.7) at https://office365itpros.com/2020/01/14/office-365-groups-teams-activity-report/
