Unable to delete a private channel

- This worked thanks. It took a bit of time (approx. 30 mins) after excluding the site before I could delete the private channel.
- However, the folder on my PC where I did a local sync to wasn't deleted and now I can't delete it in File Explorer. The error message is "The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program".
The folder has a file called ".849C9593-D756-4E56-8D6E-42412F2A707B" in it, and when I try and delete it the error is "The action can't be completed because the file is open in Microsoft OneDrive".
Any ideas please how on to delete these?Do you have a O365 retention for OneDrive (SharePoint) ?
