This is true, but you have a Site information link and in the site information panel you will see a link View all site settings that will provide you the access to the Site Settings page...but you will see there you don't have a "Delete site" option and I think this is just because you have created also a Group behind the scenes...so if you delete the Group, the site should be deleted too.

    So just confirmed: you need to delete the Group so the site will be deleted too

      When deleting a group one gets a message the all of the groups conversations, files, notebooks and events will be permanently deleted.

      Is there undelete or recover option if a group is deleted by mistake?

        Can you confirm what you mean by 'deleting the group'? Are you talking Active Directory Group or SharePoint security group, or 'Team' from the Teams UI?
