Channel folder cannot be deleted
Hi community There are channel folders they cannot be deleted. the channels have already been deleted in Microsoft Teams. Tried to delete the folder with "Sharegate" Ques...
I had the same problem.
I have fix it by making a new channel with the same name as the folder. Than delete the channel. After that it is well posible to delete the folder.

- This did the trick. Thanks Ruben_Jobse
- Great, this worked. Thanks Ruben_Jobse
- Great, had the same problem with an old channel and this worked for me.
- This worked for me but a had to open the channel's 'Files' tab before deleting channel to successfully work. Thank you!
Nice work! Ruben_Jobse
- I´m in the same situation. How does this work? Creating a new channel in the same group feels like reverting to the original situation.
I want both the private channel and it's sharepoint site gone.
How did you do it exactly?
Thanks in advance.I had to recreate the channel, then delete it keiju
- Thanks for this idea Ruben. Off of this I decided to try renaming the folder. That worked. I just renamed the folder and the delete option came up. Hope this helps someone save some time!
- legend! thanks for the fix!
- Thank you Ruben_Jobse.
So relieved to find the solution.
Indeed some folders have been created by creating a channel. Sometimes if you copy those folders to another sharepoint, it won't let you modify because they are missing their twin channel. - Best and simplest solution! Many thanks.
