Permanently Delete a User in Entra ID

priyeshwagh777 Microsoft Azure,

In case you are managing Users in Microsoft 365, a Deleted User still exists in Soft Delete state for 30 days.
Here’s how you can immediately delete the user permanently!
Please do this when you are entirely sure that you want to delete the User as this a permanent step and won’t get back the User once deleted.

Azure Admin Portal

Here’s how you can access the Azure Portal and then delete the User –

  1. Unlike M365, go to Azure Portal (https://portal.azure.com/#home), then look for Entra ID

  2. Then, look for Users.

  3. In Users, go to Deleted Users.

  4. There, you’ll find the Soft Deleted Users, select the User you want to delete and then click on Delete Permanently.

  5. You’ll need to refresh the page after a few moments to see that the User is not gone.


    Hope this is useful!
