Hi John John
Long standing issue - deleting an Office 365 Group before deleting the Site Collection
See article here:

There is a workaround identified in here to delete the site. However this doesn’t seem to work for everyone. General consensus seems to be if it doesn’t work for you then to raise a ticket to support on this one.
Hope that answers your question

I restored the deleted sharepoint site and the deleted Office 365 group. then i removed the Office 365 group >> but the SP site still showed inside the active sites list, and i got a message that this site does not have Office 365 group and if i want to delete it,, so i remove the SP site and i got the same message when i tried to remove it permanent from recycle bin ... seems deleting an Office 365 Group before deleting the Site Collection will not work also..

You need Powershell to finish this off.
