How do I remove an unwanted invite/account

Scott Mitchell 0

I don’t use Teams often. I had a spam email today which I deleted and reported. When I logged into my account afterwards there was a second “account” in a foreign language. If I click it asks if I want to redeem the invite which I don’t but I can find no way to delete it from my account. I’ve removed the app from my iPad and reinstalled and it’s still there. I don’t see it if I log into online. Can anyone please help me remove this. Thanks

Hi @Scott Mitchell,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A Forum.
What you’re seeing is a pending guest invitation to another Microsoft 365 organization (tenant). Teams surfaces these invitations automatically, even if you never redeem them, and reinstalling the app won’t remove them because the invite is tied to your Microsoft account in the cloud, not to the device.

Someone invited your email address to their Microsoft 365 tenant, often unintentionally or as part of a spam invitation. You did not redeem the invite when received it from an unidentified source, which is the correct action. However, Microsoft Teams continues to display the organization as an available option until you explicitly leave or remove it. This organization often appears in a different language because it uses the inviting tenant’s default language settings.

You can remove yourself from that organization directly and no admin permissions are required.

Open a web browser and go to: https://myaccount.microsoft.com/organizations

Sign in with the same account you use for Teams.

You’ll see a list of organizations you’re associated with.

Locate the unknown / foreign‑language organization.

Select Leave organization, then confirm.

Once you do this:

The unwanted organization will disappear from Teams.

You will no longer be prompted to redeem the invite.

The change applies across all devices (desktop, mobile, web).

I hope this provides enough clarity and helps you stay inform with your current situation.

Hi Scott Mitchell

Thank you for your question in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Gathered all the information provided by you, here are some steps that you can try to help resolve this:

First, please kindly go to your Settings on iPad > Data and storage > Clear app data. After that, go back to Teams, scroll down to refresh the app and log out and log back in to see if there are any changes.
Sometimes an extra saved account looks like a “second account.” Please help me check your account list from the profile menu and make sure only your intended personal account remains.

Feel free to give me an update. Thank you so much and I hope you have a great day.
