Searching for a deleted file across multiple SharePoint Online recycle bins

[Darren O'Malley]

Is there a method to search for a deleted file across multiple site collections recycle bins?

Scenario: User deletes a file, submits a help desk ticket, but has no idea where they were when they deleted the file

I've tried Content Search in the Security & Compliance Centre and it looks like it can find deleted emails but not SharePoint docs

many thanks

Perhaps do a unified audit log search - https://protection.office.com/unifiedauditlog - for activity 'deleted file' - then filter on the user who did the deletion.
