We are still seeing Inactive/Terminated/Disabled AzureAD Accounts in site permissions in SharePoint Online sites.
How can we perform a bulk clean-up?

    Hi @Anonymous ,
    If you have Inactive/Terminated/Disabled users from AD, when you go to SharePoint Online, you will still see those user accounts in SharePoint site permission list. It is a normal behavior. However, it doesn’t mean the user has access. This is not a security issue, and SharePoint always keeps a record of a user. You may need to delete the user from User Information List(go to http://siteUrl/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0 and delete from there)

    For more details, you can refer to this article: How to remove deleted users from SharePoint Online
