Cleaning up the resources
If you don't intend to continue using the Azure AD tenant, you can easily delete it. If you are planning on using this tenant for the rest of the book, you can skip this part and come back to it when you are ready to delete the tenant.
To delete an Azure AD tenant in the Azure portal, you have to take the following steps:
- On the Overview page of Azure AD, in the top menu, select Manage tenants:
Figure 1.10 – Managing tenants
- Then, select the Azure AD tenant that you want to delete from the list, and click on Delete in the top menu:

- You will be redirected to the Users tab where you can delete all the users. Select the users and then in the top menu, click Delete user:
Figure 1.13 – Deleting users
- Click OK when you are asked if you want to delete the selected users.
