Hello @HyeonEvangelista 

welcome to the Microsoft community, My name is Yakubu Suleman I'll be happy to help you today;

I understand that you want to restore a deleted  teams channel more than 30days ago. .

Please note that deleted channels can be restored within 30 days. During the 30-day period, a deleted channel continues to be counted towards the 200 channel or 30 private channel per team limit. After 30 days, a deleted channel and its content are permanently deleted and the channel no longer counts towards the per team limit.

I believe this helps

Hi @HyeonEvangelista,

Unfortunately, deleted Microsoft Teams channels can be restored within 30 days. After 30 days, a deleted channel and its content are permanently deleted and there is no built-in mechanism to recover them.

Many thanks to both of you... I understand perfectly well that it cannot be recovered in any way... However, I have one last request to ask you, since I have to tell one of my clients, do you have any reference to the Microsoft documentation that says this?
