Hi,
I cannot delete the distribution group in Exchange online admin center.

I also cannot edit this group.

And group is not displayed in the Azure Active Directory admin center.

Can you please write me suggestions on how to delete a group?

Thank you in advance.

    Ok, at this point you need to open a ticket with Microsoft (click the "?" In the low right corner and open a ticket).
    It seems a "orphaned" description on GUI...
    Very strange.

    well, try to connect to your tenant trought powershell and do this.. :

    Get-MsolGroup cmdlet to get the GUID <= find the group

    Remove-MsolGroup -ObjectId <GUID> -Force.

    See my screenshot.

    Yes, from Exchange console, execute this command :
    Get-HybridConfiguration | fl

    see this guide :

    You need to use an account (Office 365) that has Global Administrator role in tenant.

    Try to login with a user with this right.
