Delete domain

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Delete a domain from a tenant.

Important:

• Deleted domains are not recoverable.
  
• Attempts to delete will fail if there are any resources or objects still dependent on the domain. You can find all dependent resources by using the List domainNameReferences API.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.
