OneDrive and Retention
That's the expected behavior, as detailed here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/securitycompliance/retention-policies#how-a-retention-policy-works-with-document-versions-in-a-site
Depending on the type of hold you've configured, you can either wait for the old versions to "age out" or disable the hold, remove them, re-enable the hold.
Thank you very much for the response. It confirms then what I hoped it was not the case. This is a challenge but look then granting more storage for the OneDrive is the only way around this. The user hit the storage limit and tried then to delete files with large number of versions and emptying the recycle bin (both stages) but being at the limit storage wise prevented the deletion to occur so we had no choice but increasing the storage. Thanks
