How to Delete a team in Microsoft Teams
Note: A team can be deleted by the team owner either from the web app or the desktop app.
You can delete a team (if you are the owner of the team) by going to the name of the team, selecting More options, then selecting Delete the team if you are the team owner. There will be a permanent removal of your team from the site.
Remember:
- Deleted teams are removed from Exchange after the mailboxes and calendars of the team are removed
- We will also delete all the files and the SharePoint site associated with the corresponding site
- The team’s notebooks, plans, dashboards, and groups, such as OneNote notebooks, Planners, PowerBI workspaces, and Stream groups, will also be removed. This includes Notes, Plans, Dashboards, and Groups that are associated with the team.
It is possible for team owners or IT administrators to recover deleted teams for a maximum of 30 days after they have been deleted. We encourage you to check out our article Restore a deleted Microsoft 365 group for more information on how to do this.
