Before deleting, the Delete Organization operation will check for dependencies that could cause instability in the organization hierarchy. If any such dependencies exist, you will be prompted to resolve those, before continuing to delete the organization. A most common dependency that could prevent you from deleting the organization is when an organization in the hierarchy is setup as parent for Automatic Applications.

An example for a partially successful Delete Organization:

You can retry deleting the organization after resolving the dependencies.
