How to disconnect MS-Teams team from their respective SharePoint site
I would have to work with my IT group to test it.
jenniferWoo , I think it should work. Though https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/restore-deleted-site-collection, so the trick is having the global SharePoint Admin restore the site before it is hard deleted.
This could potentially work for the other associated parts of Teams (eg. restore the mailbox or the M365 group without restoring the entire Team).
I am curious, though; when you said:

Did you mean you created Teams channels tied to pre-existing SharePoint sites (which I wouldn't expect to be affected by the Teams deletion), or just that you created channels within the Team, thereby automatically creating locations in SharePoint (library subfolders for Standard Channels, separate sites for Shared or Private Channels)?
- when you create a Teams channel you have the option to create a new one or from an existing group. I tested this yesterday: I created from a 365 group (which was automatically created when the SharePoint site was created), then I deleted the Teams channel. The 365 group and the SharePoint site were deleted as well.
