Why is manager getting this email.. "FW: Final Notice: Joe Blogg's OneDrive for Business contents"

Hi, We have office 365 accounts which in which our identity is synced from our AD. Just as this account I'm posting from is. My managers manager got the email below. Any ideas why?

none of the above happened and we are seeing several managers receiving these.

I thought the first email that was sent was the 30-day email?

Any advice on troubleshooting why these accounts are sending out this email notification to their managers?

Eric Adler Any word as to why you got all the emails?

I have a manager that received the 30 day email. The employee was re-instated but they then received the 7 day deletion email warning?

yes. the issue was accounts were created wrong and rebuilt. often it was a case of name was misspelled.

it is odd that someone that was reinstated would receive the notification.

apparently, switching off "Access delegation" will remove these mails. However i have just set this setting and wont know if it will work till managers stop complaining about these mails.

The issue for us is that its panicking clueless managers. We already have a proceedure in IT for backing up peoples onedrive files, so this message unnecessarily freaks out managers for no reason as they feel they have to do something about it. Well that something is send me urgent emails about something i already did...
