New sites have numbers at end of URL - how to cleanup?
I'm created some new group enabled sites using the new-pnpsite cmdlet. When they got created, the site urls have numbers at the end, here is an example:
https://tenant.sharepoint.com/teams/oao16
...
- Deleted groups are held for 30 days. See https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Restore-a-deleted-Office-365-Group-b7c66b59-657a-4e1a-8aa0-8163b1f4eb54 for how to permanently remove a group. Then the URL should become available after a little while.
These sites never seem to go away. They might be tied to one drive retention or something but you have to manually delete the Sharepoint site via power shell to get it to go away after deleting the group. When I get back to a computer I’ll find the commands unless you do or someone beats me too it :p.
