Retention policy for Teams

VasilMichev  @Tony Redmond

Hello ,

I read carefully all the reply . If I correctly understood , when a Team or O365 groups is deleted , the asssoicated sharepoint is not due to the retention policy applied on sharepoint (this is the behavior that I got) but the O365 groups are deleted, with a possibility to restore within 30 days . And if a retention policy has been activated , the content of the O365 groups or teams ( essentially the conversation chats and groupmail message) are retained somewhere and these data can be receovered via the eDiscovery .

Is this correct ?

Why Microsoft didn't implement a similar litigation hold status for the groupmailbox of the O365 group deleted ?

The ways I can see this , the groupmailbox is deleted , then put in litigation hold unlimited, it's becoming a inactiv groupmailbox. If required for investigation, then a new O365 group is created and we link again the O365 group to the groupmailbox and the data is accessible directly through a teams , etc . Much easier.  At the moment it will be difficult to search for a specific O365 group or Teams deleted 1 or 2 years ago 

At the moment I deleted a teams site ( 10 days ago deleted )which was containing emails, documents, conversation. I did a search via the eDiscovery and export the result to a PST file . Now I will see in 20 days ( after the 30 days) if I can find the message of the groupmailbox of this deleted O365 groups
