No deleted Personal Folders found with Get-SPODeletedSite -IncludePersonalSite

Question

Hi there,

with the newest version from SharePoint Online Management Shell, i get no deleted Personal Folders. But there are many deleted Onedrive Accounts...

All other deleted site are found, but no Personal Sites!

Get-SPODeletedSite -> Count 256
Get-SPODeletedSite -IncludePersonalSite -> Count 256
Get-SPODeletedSite -IncludeOnlyPersonalSite -> Count 0

Get-SPOSite -IncludePersonalSite $true -Limit All | Where-Object {$_.URL -match "personal"} -> Count 5267

The connected account is a SharePoint Admin.

Hi @Markus Männl ,

As per my knowledge, deleting users' account and profile will not remove personal site immediately. It will be deleted in 30 days by default and then the deleted personal site will be moved to site collection recycle bin. The default retention period for OneDrive is 30 days, but you can change this to longer or shorter. So, check the retention period on your tenant and if It has been more than that time since the user account was deleted. Reference: The OneDrive deletion process.
