We have a large number of Azure AD Guest accounts, that haven't been used for many months (sometimes over a year) and I'd like to be able to 'purge' them all from the system in a single pass.

Is there a method for doing this? Or would I literally have to remove them one at a time?

    Hi @OneTech IT , I'm really sorry I misunderstood your question! For stale guest user accounts, there's a really good writeup here by Darren Robinson. The method is very similar to what I posted above. If you have any questions or if there's any disconnects within the document please let me know. I can help you further if so!

    If this answer helped you please mark it as "Verified" so other users can reference it.

    Thank you,
    James

    How does this relate at all, to stale GUEST USER accounts?
