Full Inbox for Microsoft Team, Unable to Delete
We have a Microsoft Team for a department that has a full inbox. When you delete messages, they reappear within seconds. I contact support and they said there is a retention policy attached to the inbox. They asked me to run these two commands, that fail:
* Set-Mailbox "username" -RemoveDelayHoldApplied
* Set-Mailbox "username" -RemoveDelayReleaseHoldApplied
After relaying that they failed, this was the response:
However, further review confirmed that (the email) is a Microsoft 365 Group (Teams) mailbox, not a standard mailbox type. For Group/Teams mailboxes, delay holds are enforced at the compliance layer and are automatically managed by Microsoft. As a result, these delay holds cannot be manually removed using Exchange PowerShell, and the above commands do not take effect for this mailbox type.
Although the mailbox has been excluded from the applicable retention policy, Microsoft applies a mandatory **delay hold period (up to approximately 30 days)** after removal or exclusion.
This is ridiculous. Is it true that you have to wait up to 30 days? Is there a better alternative solution here?

Trying to be fair, the follow-through is what will decide this so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s what makes this interesting. Hard to say where this lands long term. That’s just my read on it.

the timing matters more than people admit and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone Feels like an opening move, not an ending. At least from my perspective.

this reads stronger on paper than in practice so the response doesn’t surprise me
On the surface, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s where people will push back Not convinced this is settled yet.
Stepping back, this depends heavily on what happens next That’s what makes this interesting. We’ll see how people react over time. Others will probably see it differently.
