How do I remove organization from my personal Azure account?

When I log in with my personal account, even in Incognito mode, Microsoft Azure will tell me that there is more information required and it will forward to this url:

https://login.microsoftonline.com/myOldStudentIdcolumbia.onmicrosoft.com/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fportal.azure.com%2Fsignin%2Findex%2F&response_type=code%20id_token&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fmanagement.core.windows.net%2F%2Fuser_impersonation%20openid%20email%20profile&state=OpenIdConnect.AuthenticationProperties%___&response_mode=form_post&nonce=______&client_id=___&site_id=___501430___&login_hint=my_correct_id@gmail.com&client-request-id=________&x-client-SKU=ID_NET472&x-client-ver=6.30.1.0

The problem is, I no longer go to that school. It absolutely should not be trying to log me into an organization. I have had this account for decades, and this school has not been relevant to it for 15 years... yet it now blocks my entrance to the Azure Portal.

The only work around I have found is to login to Github, which will authenticate to the @gmail account and not try to associate it to the previous organization.

When I get into my Azure account through Github, and go to Microsoft Entra ID, and then Tenants, I can see the Columbia registered as a Tenant in Azure EntraID. When I try to delete it I get the following message:

Unable to delete tenant Default Directory. Known issues exist where some enterprise applications are not capable to delete within the portal. Click the notification title for more information and manual troubleshooting steps.

After trying to delete the tenant in various ways I received this error when clicking on Microsoft Entra:

Extension: Microsoft_AAD_IAM Resource: identity.diagnostics Details: interaction_required: AADSTS16000: User account '{EmailHidden}' from identity provider 'live.com' does not exist in tenant 'Microsoft Services' and cannot access the application '____'(++++) in that tenant. The account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant first. Sign out and sign in again with a different Azure Active Directory user account. Trace ID: 9e4baa24-b4bc-4a81-b839-f8f52a220d00 Correlation ID: a038cc90-a456-4774-9bc6-c801eb49b62e Timestamp: 2023-12-09 03:51:48Z

Is there any way to create a clean reset of my azure account?

    I'm glad that you were able to resolve your issue and thank you for posting your solution so that others experiencing the same thing can easily reference this! Since the Microsoft Q&A community has a policy that "[The question author cannot accept their own answer. They can only accept answers by others] (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/support/accepted-answers#why-only-one-accepted-answer)**)", I'll repost your solution in case you'd like to "[Accept] (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/support/accepted-answers#accepted-answer-in-a-question-thread)**)" the answer.

    Below are the steps you followed to delete organization from your personal account,

    1. Went to Columbia Tenant and created a new user
    2. Gave that new user Global Administrator Role
    3. Logged in as that user.
    4. deleted my original user.
    5. deleted tenant.

    This broke Microsoft Entra (If I clicked on Microsoft Entra it would give me the Bug seen above and would essentially wreck my Azure session until I logged out and logged in again.

    I then deleted all Subscriptions and created a new Subscription. At that point Microsoft Entra Id seems to work again.

    Please "Accept the answer" if the information helped you. This will help us and others in the community as well.
