    Hi P De Young,

    Good day. If the foreign ministry still appears under Teams > Accounts and orgs, even after trying to leave it, there are a few other things you can check. The key is to determine whether it's an organization linked to your Microsoft account or just an old account entry saved on your device.

    Try to remove this through your Microsoft Account:

    1. Open Microsoft My Account in an InPrivate or Incognito browser window.
      https://myaccount.microsoft.com
    2. Sign in with the same account you use in Teams.
    3. Select Organizations or Manage organizations.
    4. Find the foreign ministry under Other organizations you collaborate with and select Leave, if available.
    5. Confirm, wait a few hours, then sign out of Teams and sign back in.

    Regards,
    Jhun

    If this is in Teams for personal use, remove it from Accounts and orgs:

    1. Open Microsoft Teams for personal use.
    2. Go to Settings.
    3. Select Accounts and orgs.
    4. Under Organizations, find that organization and select Leave.
    5. Confirm by selecting Leave again.

    On desktop, selecting Leave in Teams may open the browser, where the organization must be confirmed and removed there.

    If the organization still appears after leaving, wait a few hours, then sign out of Teams and sign back in.

    If there is no Leave option, or leaving fails, the organization may not allow self-service removal. In that case, the organization’s admin or privacy contact must remove the account.

    Important:

    • Home organization entries cannot be left by the user; only an administrator can remove that account.
    • Leaving an organization can delete associated data, and if it was done by mistake, the organization admin would need to invite the account again.
