Is there a way to convert users and mailboxes that were created on-prem, to cloud only?

We need to get rid of the servers and want every account cloud only.

    Disabling the synchronization will convert all users synchronized from AD to Entra ID to cloud only

    If you need to do this for some accounts only, then follow https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/security-compliance-and-identity/convert-on-prem-ad-users-from-office-365-azure-ad-to-in-cloud/m-p/42908

    "You could terminate the account in Active Directory (which would terminate the account in AAD/O365) after forcing a delta sync, then "reactivate" / "undelete" the account and assign it a license"
