paulomi07 No, nothing wrong. This is the correct way to delete a Team through the API. Problem here is "timing": Teams and the Teams API (exposed through Graph) runs on its own backend, which caches information from Azure AD.

By now, your Team should have disappeared from the list. If not, please let me know!

YannickReekmans How much time takes to be deleted ? Because depending of team is 1 hour , some times is 3 h , 1 day.

It´s hard to explain to the users this behavior.
