Start with teams.service.spec.js at line 341 and run the 'should delete team, if team has no resources' test repeatedly to reproduce the intermittent failure. Inspect the test's setup and cleanup around userTeam, then verify that the test passes consistently and that userTeam no longer exists after deletion.
