The only subscription type that you can manually delete is a free trial subscription. All other subscription types, including pay-as-you-go subscriptions, are deleted only through the [subscription cancellation](#cancel-subscription-in-the-azure-portal) process. In other words, you can't delete a subscription directly unless it's a free trial subscription.
