If you want to keep data while at the same time get rid of the account, use Inactive mailboxes: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/create-and-manage-inactive-mailboxes?view=o365-worldwide
For ODFB content, there is no concept of "inactive" account, so you will have to export/store it some place else.
VasilMichevMany Thanks for you links. I think I have figured a process that will work covering all aspects. So this morning I received an email from the test user I deleted regarding their OneDrive content, as the manager I was sent the link to review so the Clean-up process on OneDrive does work as long as you have a manager assigned on AD or a secondary admin which I have put myself as contingency in case no manager is assigned. So that covers the OneDrive data.
Also with regards to the mailbox, the link you sent would cover that. As long as litigation hold is switched on and the correct license assigned (which in our case is) then it will hold the mailbox.
All that then needs to be done is the user deleted from AD and Microsoft does the rest with the clean-up process, going to be testing this process over the next few days.
