Group Deletion

We've noticed that the team site associated with an Office 365 Group doesn't get removed when the group is deleted. How long after the group is deleted will the team site be removed?

Is it that you can't reuse the site URL path? As I recall, it takes ~30 days to get the ability to use the site path again for a new site .

    No, the site is accessible. PSS is working to remove the site and indicated they have seen this happen a few times. Good to know about the 30 days. Does that mean it does go to the recycle bin?

      I think it's worth to open a support ticket so they can investigate what happend with the site Group...to me it should be deleted inmediatelly once you decide to delete the Group and it should go to the site collection recycle bin in SPO
