Deleting a Microsoft 365 organization

Deleting a Microsoft 365 organization does not affect the existing backups of this organization's data. If you do not need these backups anymore, delete them first, and then delete the Microsoft 365 organization. Otherwise, the backups will still use cloud storage space that might be billed.

For more information about how to delete backups, see To delete backups of any machine.
