HI Patrick Bailie, is a user is disconnected, then it means that they were offboarded from the team and converted to an individual account. This means that they kept the files that were associated with that user, and they now reside on their personal account, so you cannot transfer their files, since there are no files to transfer.
You can see the information that they are able to keep, and which files remain part of the team, from this page.
