Today I had to remotely wipe the email and sync partnership from a users phone. This is an easy thing to do in the Office 365 admin center. Select the user then Edit the Exchange properties.

Once the wipe is complete the user will receive an email with the details also mentioning that the mobile device will continue wiping data If it tried to sync again until the partnership is removed.
