    No, it is not possible to directly delete a user account from a laptop using Intune. Intune is a cloud-based service that provides mobile device management and application management for organizations. It does not have the capability to manage user accounts directly on devices.

    You can either retire or, reset the device from Intune, which will remove all user accounts as well as data from the device.

    @Priyanka Mathur, Thanks for posting in Q&A. If you want to delete a local user account from laptop, you can use PowerShell command to remove local account.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.localaccounts/remove-localuser?view=powershell-5.1

    If the above command is working, then we can deploy the PowerShell script via Intune. Here is a link for your reference:

    Hope the above information can help.
