How to assign a different user to a OneDrive when the original user left
I have query that a user is left from the organization so that the user's OneDrive folder access now transferred to his manager for the retention time period. But the manager want to re-assign it to another person. What are steps to do this task?

- There's no supported way to do this, best copy the files. Or keep them in the original location and add the new user as secondary SC admin.
VasilMichev- Thanks for the response. Since the user is deleted from AD I cannot find the user through the Manage User Profile section as well from url = /layouts/15/TenantProfileAdmin/ManageUserProfileServiceApplication.aspx. If we can see the user in this location then we can change admins
But no way to retrieve this profile since it is deleted from AD- You can do it via PowerShell, as long as the site is still within the retention period (as in not deleted).
