You can delete a user or a user group from a OneDrive for Business app. After you delete a user, you can still restore the user's data.
After a user is deleted, you can browse the user's data for 60 days after the date of deletion. After 60 days, until the retention criteria is met, you can continue to browse the deleted user's data using the Show deleted items option. After the retention criteria is met, the user data expires.
For example, if data retention is set to 3 months and the user is deleted on January 1, until March 1, you can browse the deleted user's data as active items. After March 1, you can browse the deleted user's data only by using Show deleted items. After April 1, the deleted user's data cannot be restored or browsed.
