Hey, it comes up a lot. Here are the steps to take:

To leave an organisation with your personal account:

Sign in to https://myapps.microsoft.com
At the top-left, select the arrow and go to My Account
Select Manage Organizations
Here, you'll see a list of organizations connected to your account.
Select Leave next to the organization you want to leave
Confirm that you want to leave

What if I can't leave?

In some cases, you may not be able to leave the organisation. This is likely due to a setting that they have that disables the ability for external users to leave the organisation. You can read more about this on the Microsoft Support page.

Hi Ben, update to this question i hope you have time.

When i try to leave in the organizations tab, it seems as they have already deleted me.

I get prompted for MFA but it dosen't work. Is there any workaround to this where i can still delete the organization?

Niels_Jakobsen hey, you may need to contact the organisation you’re trying to leave and see if they have any policies that are stopping you from leaving.

  HelloBenTeoh"you may need to contact the organisation". No, not acceptable. Especially if I have been spammed in teams. This is the same as ransomware.
  
  In any case how would I know how to contact them? I may not want to deal with them. I should just be able to right click in teams and separate from them. The teams devs should just make this happen.
  
  Once again, another train wreck for Microsoft Accounts.
  
  Oh, and their splash page blocks me from changing to a friendly org so I have to restart teams.

    Correct. Contacting the other organization may not even be possible. They may be out of business, or not using Teams anymore, or using it but have clueless tech staff.
    
    Where is the list of organizations stored? I want to hack it.

  That is what i figured.
  
  I know of the setting that external users can't leave themselves.
  I was more wondering if you knew how it would react in case they deleted me in their organization. Will i Automatically be removed, or will it have a holdup like this?
