Hi all,
I exported a One Drive for Business usage report today and found several users on the report that have been terminated well over 30 days. Two questions about this:
1. Is there a way to filter out these users?
2. Does the data still exist somewhere, so that it is taking up storage space?
Thanks in advance for helping answer these questions.

Has their active directory account been deleted? Are there files in their OneDrive that were shared to other users and those other users are still using those files?

I don't do any OneDrive reporting, so I don't have an answer for you there. Sorry.

You'll want to leverage the Access Delegation feature for instances where user's profiles are deleted from SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business. The default is to retain files for 30 days, alerting the identified manager of this change letting them know to move these files before they are deleted. Once the profile is deleted there are some ways to see if the deleted site collection is recoverable. You can learn more in this KB article - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3042522

Yes, I read the article, and we are leveraging the Access Delegation feature. Orphaned sites seemed to be a possiblity, so I ran the PowerShell script suggested but did not find any My Sites (One Drive for Business) sites listed. It's a helpful article, but unfortunately does not solve the problem.
