Hi, I have an organization I have no idea how it is showing up in Teams but I cannot get rid of it. I have never created an organization and this is my personal account and never been linked to a business. I can see the organization in settings but the only toggle switch next to is is greyed out. This is greyed out both in the browser version of Teams as well as the Windows client. How can I get rid of this organization? See picture.. Thanks.

I had this issue, too.

The organization was not listed as a tenant in portal.azure.com. Thus, that was a dead end for me.

I contacted Microsoft Support and Erwyn helped with resolving the issue. He asked me to enable Teams Insider. I did so and then had to wait for and click on the upgrade and restart action in Microsoft Teams. Then I opened the Settings \ Accounts and Orgs screen and clicked on Decline on the unknown organization. This fixed the issue in the Desktop and Web client for Teams. I uninstalled and reinstalled Teams on my iPad and that resolved it there, too. Ideally, the Accept and Decline actions should appear on the personal profile, too.

    Please sign into https://portal.azure.com

    Then click on Manage Entra ID

    Then click on Manage tenants.

    Do you see the organization listed? If so, check th box and click on "Leave".

    Indeed, in some point you have accepted the invite.

    If someone knows your email, they can add you to their organization in Teams, and Teams will send you an invitation for it. You have the ability to accept it or not.

    The easiest way is to contact the organization who invited you and request them to remove you from previous Teams invite, (you can show them your screenshot as proof). This is the part that you don't have really an access. They need to remove you using their account.
