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.
Once again, you have given me a great answer :). Thank you very much, the message that was provided in the UI did not provide any clue that this was how it worked
That will not release the URL you still have to manually delete the SharePoint site afterward via powerhell since for whatever reason the group process doesn’t.

- Agree with Mikael, If everything is as it should, the site collection is going to be permanently removed so the URL should be available again
I used
Remove-AzureADMSDeletedDirectoryObject
The associated site was NOT deleted
How would you recommend deleting the site?
