Delete Site/List on retention policy OR Exclusion rule
Hello Anand,
When you no longer need a SharePoint site or subsite, such as one created for a completed project, you can delete it to free up space. To delete a site or subsite in SharePoint Online or SharePoint Server, you need to be an admin or have https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/Full-Control-permissions-87ecbb0e-6550-491a-8826-c075e4859848.
And to delete a SharePoint Online Site:
For SharePoint Online sites, there are two ways to delete a site or subsite, depending on the type of site. On team or Office 365 group-connected sites, the delete option is under Settings > Site Information. This is also the case for subsites or classic experience sites if accessing Settings from a modern experience page. Otherwise, on communication sites, subsites, or classic experience sites, the delete option is under Settings > Site Settings.

I hope this can help you.
Sorry if i was not very clear, in my question. I was reffering to sites that has "retention policy" applied. The above mentioned process is for non-retention-ed site.
Thanks
