You can use the Active Roles Web Interface to remove a user account from Skype for Business Server. This removes all Skype for Business Server-related attributes from the user account, including the identities of any per-user policies that have been assigned to that user account.
You can later re-add the account to Skype for Business Server as described in Adding and enabling a new Skype for Business Server user). However, you will need to reconfigure all Skype for Business Server-related information (including policy assignments) previously associated with that account.

(Optional) If you need to apply any user policies to the user, configure the following policy settings:

NOTE: Consider the following when configuring any of the policy settings:
-
The Skype for Business Server user account policy settings allow you to assign specific policies to users that differ from the policy settings assigned to other users (such as global policies). These policies are referred to as "user policies".
-
In Skype for Business Server, configuring user policies is optional; you can deploy only global policies or site policies. If you configure user policies, you must assign them explicitly to users. When managing Skype for Business Server user settings, you can select the appropriate user policy from a list. The list also includes the <Automatic> entry: selecting it will apply the global policy (or, if defined, the site policy) to the user.
