Removing Microsoft Entra ID Tenants

If you do not want to protect the added Microsoft Entra ID tenant anymore, you can remove it from the backup infrastructure. Note that the tenant will be removed only from the backup infrastructure, not Entra ID environment.

To remove a tenant, do the following:

  1. Open the Inventory view.
  2. In the inventory pane, click Microsoft Entra ID.
  3. Select the tenant that you want to delete.
  4. Right-click the tenant and select Remove. Alternatively, click Remove Tenant on the ribbon.

Important

Consider the following:

  • You cannot remove a Microsoft Entra ID tenant protected by any existing job. To remove such a tenant, you first need to delete the backup jobs associated with this tenant.
  • It is recommended to also remove the application associated with the tenant from the Entra ID production environment. To find the application ID, in the Inventory view, click Microsoft Entra ID, select the tenant that you want to delete and click Edit. Application ID can be found on the Authentication step.

Alternatively, you can find all related applications in the Microsoft Entra ID admin center. To do that, open the admin center page in your browser, click Applications > App registrations and filter the applications by the prefix VeeamAzureApp.
