    @Sajith Gopalakrishnan Hema
    If you did not permanently delete a User’s OneDrive URL, please refer to learn2skills‘s reply.

    Besides, as your issue needs Microsoft 365 Admin Center, which is not supported on Q&A forum currently. Tag "office-onedrive-client-itpro" focus on general questions about OneDrive client.

    If you have further issues, I would suggest you post a new question on the following forum.
    Microsoft Answers forum for Microsoft 365 and Office 365 for admins

    Thanks for your understanding.
