Hi 

when I try to delete sitecol using powershell script I am getting error:

 

Remove-SPOSite : This site belongs to an Office 365 group. To delete the site, you must delete the group.
At line:7 char:1
+ Remove-SPOSite -Identity "https://xyz.sharepoint.com/sites/del1 ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Remove-SPOSite], ServerException

I executed the below comments no luck... 

Set-SPOSite -Identity "https://xyz.sharepoint.com/sites/del1"  -LockState "unlock"

Set-SPOSite -Identity "https://xyz.sharepoint.com/sites/del1" -Owner "xyz@abc.onmicrosoft.com" -NoWait

 

Remove-SPOSite -Identity "https://xyz.sharepoint.com/sites/del1" -Confirm:$false
Remove-SPODeletedSite -Identity "https://xyz.sharepoint.com/sites/del1"  -Confirm:$false

 

Why I am getting error like this... and how to resolve this.
