domain: forceDelete

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Deletes a domain using an asynchronous operation.

Prior to calling forceDelete, you must update or remove any references to Exchange as the provisioning service.

The following actions are performed as part of this operation:

• Renames the UPN, EmailAddress, and ProxyAddress of users with references to the deleted domain.

• Renames the EmailAddress of groups with references to the deleted domain.

• Renames the identifierUris of applications with references to the deleted domain.

• If the number of objects to be renamed is greater than 1,000, an error is returned.

• If one of the applications to be renamed is a multi-tenant app, an error is returned.

After the domain deletion completes, API operations for the deleted domain will return a 404 HTTP response code. To verify deletion of a domain, you can perform a get domain. If the domain was successfully deleted, a 404 HTTP response code will be returned in the response.
