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...

Jason Gould : did you find out if it was happening due to ediscovery retention policies ? And site will delete once retention expires?

poojac19 No. I've been dealing with Microsoft Support, multiple escalations, and they still can't fix the issue. They were only able to delete some sites for me. But sharepoint sites both old and new keep saying they can't be deleted due to a "compliance policy". I've completely disabled all retention policies. Deleted them. Recreated them. Made sure no policies were applied to sharepoint sites. Tried to add certain sites as excluded. I've tried everything.
There are no ediscovery cases in my tenant.
It's honestly beyond annoying at this point.
