Force delete Group Site Collection after Group Deleted?
I don't suppose there is a way to force delete a site collection after the group is deleted? I created a test group that happened to use the name that I now need to use. I deleted that group day...

Nov 18, 2016Brent, when you delete a Group it should delete the site collection associated with it as well as all other artifacts, if you are not experiencing this, please contact our support team to get this addressed
- Brent EllisJan 19, 2017Silver ContributorJust so happened to hit the SP site for this Group that I deleted (as part of this original thread), it was in my browser auto-complete, and lo and behold, it is still sitting out there, guess I'll contact support.
All of the other components of the group don't exist, and the site doesnt have the little link that says to go to Group Conversations, or other components.- cfiessingerJan 19, 2017

Christophe - We have the same issue. Groups get deleted but the SPO Site and Planner Board are still available/active. A particular instance, it's been a week since the group was deleted and the SPO/Plan are still there.
- Nov 19, 2016It's a well know fact that the site collection takes more time to be deleted, but it's indeed deleted...I think site deletion for Groups needs to improve in the same way site creation was improved for Groups and Office 365 Video
