Folders not able to be moved or deleted

Copper Contributor

Hello, 

 

I recently created a sharepoint document library and have a few folders in the document library that are unable to be moved or deleted. I am the owner of the site, and have deleted all files within the folders I want to delete. From reading other posts, it seems that this could be due to deleting a channel in the associated Teams group, and the retention period of that channel. Is there any way to get around this? The only option I can think of seems to be creating a whole new team and copying relevant documents over to it. 

 

Thanks, 

Clare

Hello @claremccarthy So you created the doc library and cannot be deleted. Have you tried to do the same steps on a different SharePoint site? Do you know if there is any retention policy behind the scenes blocking you to delete SharePoint data?
