How to delete custom domain from azure AD

Question

I want to remove custom domain, however i see following delete option is grade out

Please suggest.

Answer 1

Make sure that the custom domain is not set as the primary domain in your Azure AD. You can't delete a primary domain. The primary domain is the default domain name for a new user when you create a new user. Setting a primary domain name streamlines the process for an administrator to create new users in the portal. This implicitly indicated that the primary domain could not be removed as the new user will inherit the domain or the existing users has a domain suffix associated with that domain

If the above point is covered, attend the following requirements

Before deleting a custom domain, you must make sure the following:

• Remove any user with a username, email address, or proxy address using the custom domain name
• Remove any group which has an email address or proxy address using the custom domain name
• Remove any application in your Azure AD that uses the custom domain name

@sns Thank you for reaching out to us, reviewed the above conversation, As i understand you are trying to delete a custom domain within Azure AD, in order to delete a custom domain from Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) using PowerShell, login as a Global admin and run this cmdlet Remove-AzureADDomain -Name Contoso.com

Regarding the tenant deletion, refer to this article - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/enterprise-users/directory-delete-howto

Regarding app registrations, would recommend running this cmdlet from PowerShell - Get-AzureADApplication to view the list of applications registered in your Azure AD.
