If you delete a department, it will also be deleted from the "Membership" of the member user. The user will not be deleted.

Permissions associated with departments
If you delete a department, the access permission granted using that department is also deleted.
Depending on how access permissions were configured, some view-restricted data could be publicly accessible.- Example of Kintone
Even if only the HR Department members are allowed to view the employee directory app, deleting "HR Department" from Kintone Users & System Administration could make the app visible to everyone in the company.
