General folder automatically created
- Oct 22, 2019
Hi AI_birder ,
Afraid there is nothing we can do about that. By default a folder is created in the Standard "Documents" library in the SharePoint site for each channel.
For formal document management I don't use the "Documents" library I create other document libraries to save it getting clogged up with any document or image that gets attached to a Team chat.
Hope that helps
Andy
jcgonzalezmartinis there a way to untie the Teams & SharePoint connection? I don't want to have the site connected to Teams anymore and I don't want this random General folder in our documents directory.
The last time I tried removing the Teams connection I ended up deleting the entire SharePoint site. Can you provide guidance?

ChemicalEngineer the supported way would be to remove the Team which removes the associated SharePoint site. Then re-create a SharePoint site from SharePoint Home (if enabled by your admin)
Every time you create a Team it creates an Office 365 Group which in turn spins up a SharePoint site collection. This is all by design.
