If your Office 365 users are in the cloud, you can easily delete them via the admin center.
Take a look at the video demo above, or follow these steps:
- From the admin center, go to Users, and select Active Users.
- Select the name of the user you wish to delete, and click DELETE.
- Click Yes when the confirmation box appears.
Things to note:
- If you’re using directory synchronization, you have to delete your users from the local Active Directory.
- When an account is deleted, it goes into a 30-day holding period until “hard delete.” Information can be retrieved within that period.
- If an employee leaves the company, deleting their user profile should be part of an overall Office 365 deprovisioning process.
