- You can also make the mailbox inactive by placing a hold on the mailbox before deleting the owner's Azure AD account. Here's a comparison of inactive versus shared mailboxes as ways to deal with retention of mailbox content for departing employees: https://office365itpros.com/2022/05/31/inactive-mailboxes-shared/
- I would make it a shared mailbox and remove the license... if you really want to keep the data and delete the mailbox, you'll need to export the mailbox to a pst.
