Can an O365 group be deleted and leave the SharePoint site intact?
And vice versa, can the SharePoint site be deleted and leave the O365 Group intact?
I'd really like to see something where you can enable/disable features in an Group/SharePoint site
e.g.

- I want a group with no sharepoint site, and planner, and discussion turned on
- I want a group with a sharepoint site
- I want a group with planner turned off, and everything else turned off, just the discussion and document library

Sep 02, 2016Hi Brent,
Office 365 Groups weren't designed to have workload components removed, and as such you cannot keep the an orphaned SharePoint site after removing its parent Group (or vice versa). There will still be ways to provision traditional SharePoint sites that are not connected to groups though.
Can you comment further on the scenarios where you would want to have stripped down functionality (e.g. just conversations and files)?
