Deleting Items from Preservation hold library
Hello, I have a client who needs to free up spaces taken mostly by retention. Since he's already backing up and archiving his data, the retention policy in place for the groups 365 is not needed anymore. He modified his retention policy (in the compliance center) to not take the 365 groups anymore and desactivated the functionnality of retention in the administration of his main SharePoint site. However, when deleting items in the retention library of each SharePoint site (linked to Teams), this error message still appears : "This library contains items that have been modified or deleted but must remain available due to eDiscovery holds. Items cannot be modified or removed." The thing is that we didn't find any eDiscovery strategies in place in the compliance center. Do you have any idea from where this can be from and how we could resolve this issue ? Thank you for your answers !
Unable to delete Sharepoint Online site Preservation Hold list items in bulk
Hi Everyone, We encountered an issue where we were unable to delete Sharepoint Online Preservation Hold list items in bulk. We had around 400,000 list items showing and only able to delete in batches of 100. When we tried to run a script from Microsoft team, we ran into this error: library has exceeded the list view threshold which is 5000 items per library. Would like to know if there's an easier way out to clean up the Sharepoint Online site Preservation Hold library to a bare minimum ?
