my primary teams channel is missing. and the documents that went with it. The only thing new that I have done in Teams is added the planner app to it and mess around with that.

No one else is using my teams.

I saw a suggestion online to logout of teams, and delete all contents in

%appdata%\Microsoft\Teams

I did that and restarted teams but the team channel is still missing.

Can you explain to me how to find it and re-enable it?

It must have only been deleted within the last few days.

Thank you

    Hi Danny,

    Go to your Team > go to ... > Manage team

    Under Channels go to Deleted and Restore your deleted channel.

    Hi @DannyShane

    The Teams team recently updated to hide inactive channels. According to your case description, you may have encountered this problem. You can turn off this feature in the Teams client settings>General>Hide Inactive channels.
