I think deactivating is the safer option. If the user needs access again, they can always be reactivated.

Deactivate the user? Sounds like a no-brainer to me. Unless, of course, you want to start a new trend of 'Salesforce Musical Chairs'. *laughs*

But what if the user needs to access Salesforce in the future? Wouldn't it be better to just delete them?

Hmm, I don't know, deactivating the user might be a bit too much work. Why not just lock them out and let them figure it out later? *wink wink*

Deleting the user? Whoa, hold your horses there! We don't want to erase their entire Salesforce history. Deactivation is the way to go, my friend.

I see your point, but deactivating still preserves the user's data and settings in case they need to access Salesforce again.

Doing nothing? Are you kidding me? We need to keep that Salesforce license free for someone who actually needs it. Deactivate that user, stat!

Deactivating the user is definitely the way to go. We don't want to delete them and lose their data just because they've moved departments.
