Deleted user from the Active directory still exist in office 365

Question

In our environment, we have one user account which doesn't found or already deleted in onPrem AD, but its o365 account still exist and user is visible in Azure AD.
So my question is do I need to perform any other step other than below steps:

1. Delete user o365 account from portal
2. Run command: "Remove-MsolUser –UserPrincipalName user@Company portal .com "

Thanks

Answer 1

It should have been removed from Azure when it was deleted on-prem, but if not, then use the following steps
If its still licensed, you can remove all the licenses before proceeding.

Remove-MsolUser –UserPrincipalName ******@Contoso.com  
Remove-MsolUser –UserPrincipalName ******@Contoso.com -RemoveFromRecycleBin  

The last step will purge it permanently and it cant be recovered.

You can run command below on the computer which installed AAD Connect:

Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta  

Then wait for local AD and AAD sync successfully, you could check from the Microsoft 365 admin center:

If AAD Connect has synced successfully, but this account still exist in AAD, you can take AndyDavid suggestion to delete this AAD account from Azure AD.
