Removing MS Team members who have left the company

Copper Contributor

Hi all,

 

This may be too specific a question as we're a Higher Education workplace and may have app limitations but thought I'd ask in case.


We have a Microsoft team that's a community space for colleagues, there are 500+ members, and we have a monthly meeting that is sent from a channel calendar. I get bouncebacks every time I update the invite from the channel calendar from colleagues that have left. They are no longer in the Microsoft team as their account has been deactivated, but they are still receiving the email invites. For dead accounts it's not much of an issue, but some are connected to PA's inboxes who have asked me to stop these invites coming through. 

 

Is there a way of removing these people? I have tried opening the outlook group behind it but this requires manually going through and checking, and I couldn't find an easy way to delete them once I was there. I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing that would allow me to review and edit all the email addresses tied to the Team and see if they're active or not.

 

Thanks in advance.

First, you can just delete the account.
But otherwise go to the account and remove all the groups that it is a member of.

Hi Ed,

 

Thanks for your reply. I should have specified that I do not have IT access to any accounts. I own this Team as part of an administrative role in professional services.

 

Do you mean delete the accounts on Microsoft Teams? They do not appear in the list of group members, is there somewhere else where I can delete them? I do not know what IT's full protocol is regarding deleting accounts once someone has left. It seems like the Microsoft Team accounts do not exist anymore but the email addresses are still being identified for the distribution list. 

 

I am wondering how to access and delete the addresses from the distribution list for a Microsoft Team. 

 

Thanks again.
