Remove-MgUser
Delete a user object. When deleted, user resources, including their mailbox and license assignments, are moved to a temporary container and if the user is restored within 30 days, these objects are restored to them. The user is also restored to any groups they were a member of. After 30 days and if not restored, the user object is permanently deleted and their assigned resources freed. To manage the deleted user object, see deletedItems.
