Extending the retention period of OneDrive for Business for a deleted user for 10 years
Hi All , As far as I know once a user's account is deleted as a part of his exit , the OneDrive deletion timer job will run and make his manager as the primary admin for his OneDrive for Business ...
VigneshGanesan Recently we had a similar issue and OneDrive got deleted after 45 days (retention set in our tenant). However for some critical reason we had to recover that so we found a power-shell to recover this from recycle bin (where it will be available for 83 days).
To find out if the site is in recycle bin, run the following commands
Connect-SPOService -Url https://cernerprod-admin.sharepoint.com [authenticate with the SPO admin creds]
Get-SPODeletedSite -IncludePersonalSite
=>you can save the output in the .txt file and see if any of the sites returned are matching the UPN for the deleted users
=>If yes, you can restore the sites using the command Restore-SPODeletedSite -Identity URL
