The right to erasure allows data subjects to request the removal of their personal data, including system-generated logs but not audit logs, from an organization's customer data. Also, when a user leaves your organization, an admin must determine whether to delete data and resources that the user created as part of their Power Automate flows. Other personal data is automatically deleted when the user's Microsoft account is closed.
The following table shows which personal data is automatically deleted, and which data requires an administrator to manually review and delete, for users who authenticate using a Microsoft account.
