Remove IRM on protected files in Document Library while IRM already has been disabled
Does anybody have any idea if its possible to recover the access to restricted documents in a Document Library which was protected with Information Rights Management?
Back in 2018 IRM was disabled on this library and throughout the SPO-ADMIN Center.
Alle files before 2018 are still protected and not accesable.
Does anyone have any idea how to get access or unprotect these online files?
Already tried with a support case via Microsoft but that hasnt helped a bit.

- I suppose you're talking about the legacy SharePoint IRM feature here. I haven't used that but as IRM uses Azure Rights Management I'm thinking you might be able to use any of these permissions.
Export or Full control, rights management issuer/owner or for sure the super user feature.
You could try this cmdlet too as SharePoint or Global admin

Thanks for your suggestions but the Unlock-SPOSensitivityLabelEncryptedFile doesnt change a thing.
Also the Unprotect-RMSfiles didnt help us.
Anyone with any other suggestion?- Super user will do it. If not, I have no idea and you better reach out to the official support.
