MS Team disappeared

I was working on a task with the Planner on an MS Teams Channel and all traces of it have disappeared.  It does not show as archived.  I was one of the owners, I am unable to see see it in recents.

  • The team disappearing while you were working in its Planner tab does not by itself establish that the team or plan was deleted. First confirm that Teams is using the correct account and organization, then check the web client rather than relying only on Recents. Ask a Teams or Microsoft 365 administrator to locate the team and its underlying Microsoft 365 group, including Deleted groups. If that group was deleted within the recoverable 30-day period, restore the original group rather than creating a replacement team. Microsoft documents restoration of the associated Teams and Planner resources, although full recovery can take up to 24 hours. If the group still exists, investigate your membership and access to the original plan instead. If it is absent from both active and deleted groups, escalate promptly with the team name, approximate disappearance time and any saved plan or channel identifiers.
