Restore/Recover Deleted Team
Hello Everyone, First time here. I am a teacher. Apparently I deleted my TEAM. Not sure how. My IT department says they can't restore it, because 'I created the TEAM myself' and added the members an...
kevinmcbeth It doesn't matter who created the team, it's always backed by a Microsoft 365 Group. If they cannot find the group in the 'recycle bin', then unfortunately it appears the group was probably 'hard deleted' already. Have a look here to see if you can still find it. Theoretically you should also be able to restore Microsoft 365 Groups you owned.
Some resources linked to a group might be recoverable for a longer period of time. Your administrator will have to look for those resources in various places though. The associated SharePoint site may still be available in the SharePoint recycle bin etc.
To restore a team is as follows
1. You must be an owner of the Team
2. Log into Microsoft 365's Website
3. Look on the left and side of the page for the "People" app and click it.
4. Now outlook should pop up in the web browswer and you should see a page where the content of the page is about contacts.
5. Go to the left side of this page and look for Groups and click the Groups icon.
6. A page should pop up with all of the Associated groups that you are in. Find the group you are trying to recover and click it.
7. It should come up with a page saying the group has been deleted and it will give an expiration date on when it will be deleted forever. Below that is a button that says "Restore".
8. YOUR welcome!!! kevinmcbeth
