Hi, We have a MS365 admin user who has left the company.
They created some policies in MS365. For example - a Data Lifecyle Management retention policy. If I delete this user from Azure AD, will the retention policy also be deleted? Thanks in advance Adrian

    No, they will not be deleted. You can safely remove the account, if needed you can recover it back from the Recycle bin for up to 30 days.
