Delete Azure Account - Tenant

Question

During a MS course I was forced to create a new account for azure.
Now I want to delete the account (tenant).
When I try to delete the tenant, the portal keeps telling me:
To delete 'xxxxxx' organization, please remove the seat-based subscriptions which are still associated with your tenant. Go to Store For Business to fully deprovision the subscriptions by placing them into a Delete state even if they have already been canceled. Learn more

But there is no subscription assigned. I checked in the portal and also in the CLI:
The following tenants don't contain accessible subscriptions. Use 'az login --allow-no-subscriptions' to have tenant level access.

Any idea how to solve this?

I am having exactly this same problem occurring a tenant (tenant ID) I want to delete.

Deeply frustrating.

@Wolfgardt, Björn Thanks for reaching out. There might be some self service sign up product subscription tagged in your tenant and that is why you might not be able to delete it. I would appreciate if you can follow this article : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/directory-delete-howto

Do let me know if you face same issue even after you have followed the above article completely.

Delete a subscription -> Checked, no subscription
Self-service sign up products -> Checked, no products

I run the troubleshooting. Both didn't find any problem. But I am still not able to delete the tenant and/or azure account.
