I saw this description in the March 31, 2017 Weekly Roundup. (Italic and Bold Emphasis added by me):

New feature: Recover deleted Office 365 Group via PowerShell

On March 28, 2017 Microsoft announced that if you've deleted an Office 365 group, it's now retained by default for a period of 30 days. Within that period, you can now restore the group and its associated apps and data via a new PowerShell cmdlet. For additional information please go to

Here's the link to the Roundup:

Correct we support restoring an entire groups and all the apps associated with it (including SharePoint). For this specific issue, only the SP site got deleted somehow and that's not something we support.

    Thanks for everyone's input. I'm going to try and recreate this issue on a new test Group that i create by deleting the site for it and then deleting the Group. Then I'll try and do the restore via powershell.
