How to delete Group SPO site if O365Group was deleted?
Hello Dean
u mean to set/add an owner to the orphaned Group Site and to delete it afterwards,right (or do you mean a different approach) ?
Set-SPOSite -Identity https://<name>/sites/<sitename> -owner xxxxxxx@xxxxx.onmicrosoft.com
Remove-SPOSite -Identity https://<name>/sites/<sitename> -noWait
NOW, this works but this didn't work last time because i got the message saying that i can't change the Owner of a GroupSite (using the -owner parameter was not allowed for managing a Group Site)
It seems that MS changed something now.
At least i can delete them know "manually"
Do you see in your environment orphaned GROUP SPO's or am i the only one ? :)
I know this thread might a bit old, however for me I had to go into deleted sites in SharePoint Admin. Restore the site, that in turn restored the site all the other 365 group stuff.
Then delete the site in SharePoint Admin not via the 365 groups admin.microsoft.com
Then once it was deleted in SharePoint admin I could then select it from "deleted sites" and then click Permanently delete.
Only then did everything remove.
Scott Christiani find it really strange that these issues still occur. i really thought that MS has solved this already but it looks like that this is not the case.
i may know a reason why there is less interest in solving this...but anyway
