1.Change user UPNs to onmicrosoft.com. Always do that step first, before starting removal of email addresses. The step can be easlily automated.
2.Remove email addresses containing vanity domain from user mailboxes, mail users, groups. Again there are scripts on the internet that allow you automated removal.
3.Then in the admin center, go to the Settings > Domains page, select the domain that you want to remove.

Hi,

My all accounts already have Alias with onmicrosoft.com. Because when I migrated all users that time I used source and destination onmicrosoft.com Alias. Are you talking about this?

Can we do it on portal? Can you help to send that script?
> 3.Then in the admin center, go to the Settings > Domains page, select the domain that you want to remove.
When I will remove my custom domain. After removal my accounts will stay there with onmicrosoft.com?

Hi,
I have 150 users mailboxes. 30 shared and resource mailboxes, one drive and teams.
According to the above article, I should take a backup for all services before removing the custom domain.
Can you tell me the powershell script or GUI for the backup?

Per my research, i didn't figure out how to remove multiple mailboxes with powershell. I suggest you create a service request with Microsoft for furthur help about how to remove custom domain.
