Cannot delete organisation from Teams
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.
"Hey" that doesn't work. The accounts listed in the "Welcome to Teams" pick list in the desktop app aren't listed within the Organizations section of https://myaccount.microsoft.com/organizations. I think that's why so many people are complaining.

I had the same issue with the orphan empty organization.
I found a solution. Log out of the client, and then log back in. It should be removed once you log back in.
See if that works. - HelloBenTeohFeb 14, 2025Bronze Contributor
Yo! Thats a separate problem unfortunately. I have so many on my list :( I’ve seen that some people try and manually clear out their reg keys to resolve it but I haven’t tried.

Yo! Do you happen to know what the registry steps are? As much as I do not like to touch the registry…

Good news, looks like it was just local app caches that people have been trying, not the registry - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msteams/forum/all/new-teams-how-do-you-remove-users-from-the-pick-an/17882706-b1d6-4c29-ad2c-3fb28ca49494
