The EmpowerID workflow used to delete computer accounts is the DeleteComputerBulk workflow. To run the workflow, users need to have the Initiator Access Level for it.
Delete computers

Get-ADObject -Filter { ObjectClass -eq "computer" -AND IsDeleted -eq $True} -IncludeDeletedObjects -Properties IsDeleted,LastKnownParent,DistinguishedName- A record for the deleted computer is returned.
