Force delete Group Site Collection after Group Deleted?
Hi,
I'm try this "_layouts/15/deleteweb.aspx" but it did not work for me got this error message all along doesn't matter what I try to do.
This site collection can't be deleted because it contains sites that are included in an eDiscovery hold or retention policy.
I've created a ticket with MS and they been looking into it for few days but no luck.
Have anyone experience this error message before?
I think you may have done it the wrong as you may need to first remove the sitecollection before you remove the group.
Thank you for me answer. I really was with retention policy applied in my environment. To resolve my problem, I needed disable my retention policy. After I can get delete my site of group throught Powershell.
I logged a ticket with Microsoft and they resolved some of the problems for me. I can delete most of the Site collections that need to be deleted but still having problem with one.
You need to log a ticket with them and they will contact you to go through the log. The investigation process was taking a couple of weeks.
I'm getting the same error. Did you solve it?
I deleted the Office365 group and attempted to delete the site via _layouts/15/deleteweb.aspx. I got error "Remove-SPOSite : This site collection can't be deleted because it contains sites that are included in an eDiscovery hold or retention policy."
I suppose I can exclude the site in the Retention Policy. correct?
Thanks.
