Deleted user still being returned in AuthenticationMethods endpoint

I have deleted a user from AD and it has sync'd the deletion to Entra and the account is no longer reported, however the endpoint https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/reports/authenticationMethods/userRegistrationDetails is still returning the details of the deleted user? Anyone know if there is a delay in this endpoint being updated or any other process needed to remove the user so it doesn't show up when calling this endpoint? Also tried deleting the user from Deleted Users in Entra but still the endpoint returns it!

    Just give it few days. Almost everything under the /reports endpoint is not real-time data, instead you are getting a snapshot generated few days ago. There is no way for you to push an update, it's a backend tasks on Microsoft's side that need to regenerate the data. For the real thing, check via the users/{userid}/authentication/methodsendpoint.
