Excluding a team from retention policy

We have included everything in retention policies, i.e. Groups, SharePoint, Exchange and Team channel messages and Teams chats. Now I want to exclude a team in order to delete it entirely, including the associated SPO site. Where do I then have to add exceptions? Do I need to explicitly exclude the group, the site, the channel messages and the chat or is it sufficient to only exclude the group?

  • Let me clarify what I have found out:

     

    I made an exception in the retention policy, excluding the Office 365 group in question. That allowed me to delete the team and this in turn resulted in the site and the groups also was deleted. It might take a while though and sometimes it might also fail, I guess.
