How to disconnect MS-Teams team from their respective SharePoint site
Hi All, Currently I am working in a project where the entire work has been implemented on the SharePoint Teams site created by MS Teams. Now we want to disconnect the site from MS Teams to restri...
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.

Don Kirkham Deleting the Team from the Admin Center deletes the M365 group.
- This seems very dangerous to me. I have created Teams channels for my SharePoint sites just so that users can easily find the sites. I had no idea that this link would have such repercussions. Is there somewhere we can request that Microsoft does not delete the group and the SharePoint site when deleting the team?
- Can't you just restore the SharePoint site (before 93 days are up) from the SharePoint Admin Center and it would restore the site only, while still deleting the Team, M365 Group, mailbox, etc)?
I would have to work with my IT group to test it.
- Does this also affect any SharePoint Lists, custom List forms and Power Automate flows associated with the original SharePoint site?
- Probably, given that it also has an effect on other parts of Power Platform (like Power BI) associated with the MS Team: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/delete-a-team-c386f91b-f7e6-400b-aac7-8025f74f8b41#:~:text=Remember%3A,team%20will%20also%20be%20deleted
