Remove retention labels from items in SharePoint

[OIMSdemo]

As far as I'm aware, once a retention label has been applied to an item in SharePoint there is no way to remove it (if the "record" box was checked in the retention label settings).

Is this true?

We have a scenario where some testing labels were applied but would now ideally be removed.

Hello,

No, you can remove them with the PowerShell, try this solution:

This only removing the labels that can be applied, not the labels that were already applied to items. I tried with Reset-PnPLabel but that doesnt work either (is that even referring to retention labels?)
