Hi all,

When all M365 tenant user licenses are revoked or removed, what will happen to Teams and SharePoint sites?

Are they going to be retained for a few days or will they be removed in 30 days?

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you may have.

    Hi @Enterprise Architect,

    When you remove the license, all that user's data is held for 30 days(Teams , SharePoint ,Exchange etc.). You can access the data, or restore the account if the user comes back. After 30 days, all the user's data (except for documents stored on SharePoint Online) is permanently deleted from Microsoft 365 and can't be recovered.

    Reference: Remove and delete the Microsoft 365 license from a former employee
