Set Retention Policy from 1 year to 6 months - what will happen
Hi everyone, i have a change request to set the retention policy from 1 year to 6 months. I cannot really "test" it on a test tenant what will happen if a "delegated OneDrive" ist 8 months old....

You are right. It's the OneDrive retention setup. We have no additional retention policy in place.
Nevertheless it's unclear what happens if i set the time to 6 months and after that about 150 OneDrives will be deleted

Nothing will be deleted, this only acts after the user object is removed/delicensed.

Maybe i need to describe one case to make it clear.
Current setting: 365 days until delete of OneDrive
Needed setting: 180 days until delete of OneDrive
Colleague left 8 months ago. His manager got access to his OneDrive.
I set the new setting to 180 days.
Possibilities:
Does the OneDrive gets deleted without notice?
Does the Manager gets a reminder and the 7 days until deletion starts?
Keep the existing OneDrives the old value and only the new "deleted users" get the new setting?
(Maybe another)
Best regards

Oh, so you mean user that was already "deleted"... sorry for being so slow. I'm not sure what the expected behavior is, perhaps Stephen Rose can clarify this.

I think i will need to try it myself. Or get the OK from the management to just try it.
