Google Workspace for Education Best Practice
The best practice for the Google Workspace Education license is to suspend user accounts rather than delete them.

Its goal is not to restore data quickly but to retain critical data in an organized way so that searching for specific information when it is needed becomes easier. For example, Vault becomes a valuable tool when administrators need to search for data related to litigations or regulatory compliance.
