I would like to now how I can delete multiple teams groups at once rather then have to go through over 5000 groups, dating back to 2017, deleting them one by one?

Surely Microsoft can come up with this feature? It's a pretty basic feature for 2024 right?

Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Teams for business | Teams and channels | Delete a team or channel

    Hello JC_296,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft Community. We are happy to assist you.

    I understand that deleting multiple Teams groups at once would be a helpful feature. Unfortunately, at this time, Microsoft Teams does not have a built-in feature to delete multiple groups at once for the end users.

    If you have Teams Administrator access, you can select multiple teams and delete them all at once.

    Steps:

    • Go to the Microsoft Teams admin center: https://admin.teams.microsoft.com.
    • Select Teams from the left navigation menu.
    • Manage Teams
    • Click on the Team name that you want to delete.
    • Hit Delete.

    If you don't have access to the Teams Admin portal, please contact your organization's IT Administrator team. They will assist you in performing this task. How do I find my Microsoft 365 admin? - Microsoft Support.

    I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

    Even this option only allows you to select 10 Teams at a time. With over a thousand teams to delete from past school year classes, this is only partially saving time. Is this really the only option to bulk delete from Microsoft?
