Delete phoneAuthenticationMethod

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Delete a user's phone authentication method. This removes the phone number from the user and they'll no longer be able to use the number for authentication, whether via SMS or voice calls.

A user can't have an alternateMobile number without a mobile number. If you want to remove a mobile number from a user that also has an alternateMobile number, first update the mobile number to the new number, then delete the alternateMobile number.

If the phone number is the user's default Azure multi-factor authentication (MFA) authentication method, it can't be deleted. Have the user change their default authentication method, and then delete the number.
