Hi all,

I have removed a retention policy (about 3 weeks ago) set on onedrives the preservation hold library is still there and files still go into it which is consuming space, how do I delete the folder for all users so that files no longer go into this location?

    Hi,

    Pull to the bottom of the recycle bin, there is a second-stage recycle bin, empty the contents of the recycle bin, and the memory will be released.
