Delete a user

• Shared calendars. You must transfer ownership of shared calendars. If the user created a shared calendar that you'd like someone else to now manage, give the other user permission to "Make changes AND manage sharing" on the shared calendar.
• Business email powered by Google Apps. If you signed up for the business email service that lets you manage your personal and business email via the same Google inbox, you’ve purchased business email powered by Google Apps for Work. Learn more
  Warning: Before you delete the user account of the person who signed up for business email powered by Google Apps for Work, review the following important considerations:
  • That user’s access to their personal Gmail account used to sign up for business email is removed.
  • You can no longer manage the domain through Google Domains. To retain access, transfer the domain to a different Google Domains account.
• Vault and Google Apps Unlimited. All of the user's Vault data is deleted. This happens regardless of retention settings or any holds that might be in effect. Learn more

You might also consider other ways to extract data before deleting a user's account.

• Mail. All messages in the user's account are deleted after 5 days.
• Calendar. The user's primary calendar is deleted after 5 days. Shared calendars created by the user aren't deleted, but for another user to continue managing the shared calendar, you need to give the other user permission to "Make changes AND manage sharing" on the shared calendar.
• Drive files. Drive files the user owns are deleted after five days unless you transfer those files when you delete the user as described below.
• Vault. Any retention rules and holds that apply to the user are removed. All data for that user is deleted from Vault within 30 days.
• Google+ Pages. All Google+ Pages owned by the account are deleted, or you can choose to transfer the pages to another user.
• Sites pages. Site pages created by the user are not deleted. However, as an administrator, you can remove the sites.
• Non-core services. Content in the user's non-core services (such as YouTube and Picasa Web Albums) is deleted.
