In this blog article you can know all about how to bulk delete users from the organization at the same time. As an IT admin, sometimes you may need to delete more than a hundred users at a time. The process becomes time-consuming and repetitive when you delete a single user in Google Workspace at a time. Also, there is no process in the Google Admin Console for deleting multiple users simultaneously. So, Foresight introduces this feature for you to save more time for the users’ data management.
Let’s understand how Foresight processed the bulk removal of users from organizations in the Google Workspace.
