Deleting Items from Preservation hold library
Hello, I have a client who needs to free up spaces taken mostly by retention. Since he's already backing up and archiving his data, the retention policy in place for the groups 365 is not neede...
Make sure the changes you've made to retention policies have propagated, this process can be slow at times. You can check this via Status property for the selected retention policy in the Compliance portal or PowerShell.
If the status shows successful propagation and you are still having issues, run the troubleshooter here: https://aka.ms/PillarInvalidRetention

Thank you for your answer, we'll check this out. The changes have been applied on wednesday last week.
In the meantime we found out that the In-Place record management is active on the site. It seems like it could be the issue because it is set on "block deletion and modification" .
Howerver, when we go to change the parameter from "block deletion and modification" to "none", we click "ok" but it then shows that we need to have access.
The thing is that we are global admin on the SharePoint tenant and supposed to be able to change those specific parameters... Any idea of a way we could use to change this parameter ?

- Not sure about that. Make sure you're added as Site collection admin for the specific SC, undeclare any existing records first or try to disable the feature altogether.
