That is right, but make sure everyone is in that AD group apart from that one user otherwise some of your users will loose access.

It's possible that even if he's been removed from the Member group he's still got some item level permissions or access to a style gallery. I'd try; -

Use the site Cog --> Site Settings
On this new page click on Site Permissions
In the ribbon check the user's name in the Check Permissions tool. This'll highlight where they need to be removed from. Act on this and let us know what happens

Here are permissions:

EditGiven through the "Members" https://group.limited/

https://group.limited/ AccessGiven through the "SharePointHome OrgLinks Viewers" group.

On site i want to remove access from,on site permissions, Site visitors are "Everyone except external users"

I located above groups and both have only one member "Everyone except external users"

Is it safe to remove this group ?

Hi jarvis2020 ,

Its not safe to remove that group. Its everyone in your company. So if you remove it from any site all users that are not explicitly given access through another group will loose access to the site.

If you do indeed need everyone in your company to access a site but 1 person not too then the only way to solve that is to create an AD Group for instance "All SharePoint users" and add everyone except that one user, then use that group.

You could maybe block them with conditional access too, may be worth a look.

  Andrew Hodges , so if i understood correctly, remove "Everyone except external users", and then add
  Azure AD group ?

Depends on the use of your site. Your organisation has set ALL users access to these two groups. If you remove "Everyone except external users" from these groups you'll disable everyone that can access the site.
Might be worth discussing this internally with your IT colleagues?
