Official File retention policy for OneDrive for Business and SharePoint
Does anyone have information on the length of time files in OneDrive for Business and SharePoint online are retained after an end user deletes them ? Is there a way of placing unlimited retention...

I found some documentation here, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3042522. Is the Manager determined through the org chart?

Items are removed from the recycle bin(s) after 90 days, starting from
the original delete date, independently from the recycle bin in which
they are (first or second level). Notice that the items do not
automatically move from the first level recycle bin to the second level
recycle bin. The second level bin is rather an "administrative" bin
which is used to recovery items that users have mistakenly deleted from
the first level bin. Give a look to this:
