If you delete the team from the Teams Admin Center, the SharePoint site and M365 Group remain. You can then manage the SharePoint site like any other modern Teams site. Please test in your tenant to make sure the default settings have not changed.
If you delete the team from the Teams app, everything is deleted. This also happens if you delete the SharePoint site that backs the team.
By default, owners can delete the team from the app. This setting would need to be changed in by policy.
If this solves your issue, please mark it as the answer/solution. Thank you.

Hi Don,
Have you tried those steps. For me it is the same. Everything got deleted including the group too.

- Don KirkhamApr 08, 2021MVPYes, I tested those steps as I was writing my reply. My tenant is brand new, so no defaults have been changed. I also tested it in another tenant just now.
So, if you delete a team in the Teams Admin center, the SharePoint site is also being deleted? If so, I don't know of a way to change that behavior.- BoarbanGApr 08, 2021Copper ContributorYes the group and the site is getting deleted after sometime. 😞
- Don KirkhamApr 08, 2021MVPDang, you are correct. I wasn't waiting long enough. Not sure when they changed it, but now I'm wondering if PowerShell might be an option. Remove-Team will delete it all, but Remove-PnPTeamsTeam does not specify if related objects will also be removed.
