What you need to do to prepare:

This capability needs to be enabled in existing environments. To enable the feature, go to your environment on the Power Platform Admin Center and go to Settings/Product/Features and enable the “Delete disabled users” switch. Now that the feature is enabled you can perform one of the following:

• Delete individual users manually online via the Power Platform Admin Center
