How to delete and restore any user account in Office 365

If you are an Office 365 admin, you have to delete a user account when required. Suppose if an employee leaves your organization, you have to delete his user account. Once you will delete his user account, other people can’t be able to use his account. You assign a license to that user to use certain features of Setup Office 365. Office 365 licenses associated with the user account also become free once you delete the account.  But you don’t use their data even if their account is deleted. You can use OneDrive to store your data in the cloud. You can also reassign a licence without deleting the related user account.

1.      Sign in to Office 365 with your work or school account.

2.      Go to the Office 365 admin centre.

3.      Go to Users > Active Users.

4.      Choose the names of the users that you want to delete, and then select DELETE.

5.      In the confirmation box, select Yes.

Once you will delete any user account, the account becomes inactive. If you want to restore any deleted user account, you can restore it within 30 days of deletion.
