Deletes a domain using an asynchronous long-running operation.
Prior to calling forceDelete, you must update or remove any references to Exchange as the provisioning service.
The following actions are performed as part of this operation:
Updates the userPrincipalName, mail, and proxyAddresses properties of users with references to the deleted domain to use the initial onmicrosoft.com domain.
Updates the mail property of groups with references to the deleted domain to use the initial onmicrosoft.com domain.
Updates the identifierUris property of applications with references to the deleted domain to use the initial onmicrosoft.com domain.
If the number of objects to be renamed is greater than 1000, an error is returned.
If one of the applications to be renamed is a multi-tenant app, an error is returned.
After the domain deletion completes, API operations for the deleted domain will return a HTTP 404 status code. To verify deletion of a domain, you can perform a get domain operation.
