Removing users from SharePoint Online security groups can be done in just few clicks.  Follow these steps to delete users from a SharePoint Online group:

• Navigate to your SharePoint Online site where the group is used, Click on Site Settings gear >> Click on Site Settings from the menu.
• From the Site Settings page, Click on "People and groups" under Users And Permissions section.
• On the Left navigation menu, select the group from which you'd like to remove the users.
• Tick the check box next to the user(s) you want to remove.
• Click the Actions drop-down arrow >> Select Remove Users from Group.
