Delete Users and/or User Backup Data
You can delete user accounts via Management Console when there is no need for keeping users due to a contract end or similar situation. You can delete your user accounts and delete their backup data on backup storage directly from the Management Console. If the immutability is applied for the backup data, you are unable to delete backup data directly from the Management Console. You can only delete the metadata of user backups stored by Managed Backup. To delete backup data with object lock period applied, contact your cloud storage provider support.
To manage users, the Organization > Users and Organization > Delete Users permissions should be granted as the administrator permission on Organization > Administrators.
To delete users along with the backup data, the Organization > Users and Management > Delete backup data permissions should be granted as the administrator permission on Organization > Administrators.
Note that user data deletion may take several days, depending on storage account settings. The progress cannot be reported. Once the deletion process is completed, you will be notified by email
