Deleting/Managing SharePoint sites that have been automatically created from MS Teams?
1.) in O365 in the New SharePoint Admin Center you can filter the sites. In the Filter Select "Office 365 group Sites" and it will give you the team sites. All Teams Site is associated with a TEAMS.
2.) If you delete the Site which belongs to a Team, then it will delete the group and all its resources, including the Outlook mailbox and calendar, and any Teams channels. You will have 30 days to restore the group.
3.) By default when you create a New Team, here's what gets created: A new O365 group, a SharePoint Online Site and document library to store teams files, an Exchange Online Shared Mailbox and Calendar, a OneNote notebook. Sadly, I have not come across any article or resource about disabling the link between the Team and SharePoint site. Any document which is shared in that Team or Channels in that team, gets stored in the Document Library and for each channel a folder is created in the document library. You can manage the contents of that Site by enabling the custom scripting options in the TeamSite also If you want to disable FileShare in Teams I am not sure if that is an option for now.
I hope it helps.

Really helpful reply, thanks. Looks like the link between Teams and SharePoint is just something we'll have to unfortunately live with. Hopefully Microsoft has plans to let you disable things like this in the future.
