Teams Channel is Missing

Question

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

Answer 1

I have been reading the feedback but i see different things in the settings than what is shown here as a solution.
In my teams i lost like 95% of my teams:

and I see no way of recovering them. also in the settings i don't see that option to shows inactive channels:

But when i go to one drive i can see that they are still there but i have no clue how to restore that back to show under my teams button:

looking forward to your reply.

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.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Hi Danny,

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

Under Channels go to Deleted and Restore your deleted channel.
