Cannot delete folders with items in them - Bug or Feature?
- May 03, 2017
So Microsoft removed every hold of every Office 365 Groups SharePoint Site.
The behaviour is still weird though, or is this (cannot delete folders with items) normal for SharePoint Sites under eDiscovery Hold?

This is a dumb side-effect that only makes it more difficult to administer the site.
Retention should mean that when files become deleted, that they are stored in the hold for X amount of years. I don't understand why Microsoft always incist on over-engineering things when they have proven time and time again they cannot develop even basic function correctly.

- Len RaphaelJul 25, 2022Brass Contributorcoulda sworn a few months ago i could delete populated folders in SP and biz OD, but now i have to empty them first.
Didn't change existing retention policy.
What does work is usinrg file explorer w 3rd party Zee Drive to move or delete SP populated folders.
