Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365): People Skills- removal and deletion admin control
Administrators will gain a new capability to permanently delete all organizational People Skills data from their tenant, including confirmed, inferred, and imported skills. This is an optional admin-only control for data governance and offboarding purposes; no automatic changes occur.

Microsoft's description
A new admin control in the People Skills settings lets administrators permanently remove their organization's People Skills data from the tenant. With this new control, organizations can delete their entire skills library along with all users confirmed, inferred, and imported skills data—giving them full control to offboard from People Skills in support of data governance and compliance needs. Once deletion is initiated, skills will no longer appear on user profile cards or be used across Microsoft 365 skills-based experiences such as Copilot and Viva. The control is admin-only with no automatic changes.
