SharepointOnline: How to remove site designated as a Brand Center Site?

I think you are looking for this command. (Not PNP - SPO!)

Remove-SPOOrgAssetsLibrary -BrandCenter

This removes all Brand Center-related libraries and deactivates Brand Center features for the tenant.

Then remove CDN entries

Use

Get-SPOTenantCdnOrigins -CdnType Private

To get your CDN entries

Then remove CDN entries so to clear cache.

Remove-SPOTenantCdnOrigin -OriginUrl "[Relative URL]" -CdnType Private

THEN WAIT!!! 24 Hours they say ... Wait more if possible. Rub your computer with a rabbit's foot!

Meanwhile you can startover. ... hopefully.

THIS IS NOT THE SOLUTION. IT'S SOMETHING THAT WORKED FOR ME - TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

We are having the same issue and the same error but Microsoft support has been useless so far. We need a resolution to this urgently

I tried following those steps but I don't see the Publishing Feature, it's just not listed. Tried with Co-pilot which was a complete waste of time, cannot see any other way to remove this publishing feature so cannot remove the brand center site.

This is NOT correct information. Microsoft should provide clear instructions on removing the brand center designation from a site so that a completely new independent brand center site can be created.

Here are steps:

1.Deactivate the SharePoint Publishing Feature:

• Navigate to your SharePoint site.​
• Click on the Settings (gear) icon and select Site settings.​
• Under the Site Actions section, click on Manage site features.​
• Locate the SharePoint Publishing feature.​
• Click Deactivate next to the feature.​

2.Once the Brand Center features are removed, you can delete the site:​

• Go to the SharePoint Admin Center.​
• Under Sites, select Active sites.​
• Find the site you want to delete.​
• Select the site and click Delete.​

3.Recreate the Site with a Different URL:

After deleting the site, you can create a new site with your desired URL. However, be aware that SharePoint may create a redirect site at the old URL to preserve existing links. To reuse the old URL, you may need to remove this redirect site.​

Remove the Redirect Site:

Connect-SPOService -Url https://yourdomain-admin.sharepoint.com 
Get-SPOSite -Template REDIRECTSITE#0 
Remove-SPOSite -Identity https://yourdomain.sharepoint.com/sites/OldSiteURL

Then create a New Site with the Desired URL.
