    @Cheluvappa, Balaraju Thanks for posting in our Q&A. For this issue, it is not related to windows 365. It is more related to Microsoft 365 Defender.

    Based on my research, I find that the user has the "Search and purge" role will have the permission to execute the delete action.

    To get more accurate help, it is suggested to contact Microsoft Defender support. Here is the support link:
