Hi,
I have been trying to delete a couple of Sharepoint Sites that were set up, yet I am unable to do so. When trying to delete the site it comes back with an error message that there is a compliance policy /eDiscovery Hold in place.
I have checked for a compliance policy and retention schedule etc and there isn't one in place that would be stopping the deletion of a Sharepoint site.
Is anybody able to point in the next direction to try? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi @LukeM,
We had a similar situation and had to engage Microsoft support. There are a couple places in O365 that could be applying the eDiscovery / Hold in place. In our situation, support had to make back-end changes to remove the policy.
I hope this helps.

HI, @Norman Young
I was afraid that would be the case! I'm glad I haven't been chasing it around much longer than I have!
I'll get in touch. Thanks Norm.
