Excluding SharePoint Online sites from Retention Policy, for removal
I understand that when I have the Purview Retention Policy set to Never Delete, that I can't fully delete any SharePoint Online sites. If I add the sites I want to remove to the Exclude list of the Policy, how long does it normally take for that change to propagate before I have permissions to be able to delete those excluded sites?

OneTechBeyond Retention polices can take up to 7 days to take effect. You can use the Policy look up tab to see if the site has been removed. Reference Automatically retain or delete content by using retention policies | Microsoft Learn
