Report the problem to Microsoft. The more formal reports that go in via support, the quicker engineering will fix the issue.

Its a shame these processes arent better documented by Microsoft directly. IT Admins can manage just about anything but being an IT Admin in modern times is like tight rope walking blindfolded. Put another way, they shouldn’t call it the cloud, they should call it the “fog”.

I use custom app policies for distributing Teams Apps to a set of users to test and fiddle with them before they get deployed to all users.

When a user is assigned this custom policy, and then this user is disabled, the user can no longer be found in the Teams admin center, yet the policy is still assigned to that user.
This makes it so that you are unable to delete that custom / temporary policy until the user is enabled.
Then the user is visible in Teams admin and an be removed from the policy whereafter you can remove the policy.

not major blocking or anything, just something annoying I stumbled uppon once.

Good suggestion. One issue is that if an account is then unblocked, the user will be forced to change their password. Not a biggie.

This will leave the account open, block sign-ins and leave everything else intact.
