Remove-SPOContainer

Sends a Container to the Recycle Bin.

Syntax

Remove-SPOContainer
      [-Identity <ContainerId>]
      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Remove-SPOContainer cmdlet deletes a File Storage Container and puts it in the Recycle Bin. A Container that is deleted will no longer be retrieved by the Get-SPOContainer cmdlet.

When admins delete a Container, it is moved into the Recycle Bin. A deleted Container can be restored from the Recycle Bin within 93 days. If a Container is deleted from the Recycle Bin, or it exceeds the 93-day retention period, it is permanently deleted. Deleting a Container deletes everything within it, including all documents and files. You can view all deleted Containers in the Recycle Bin with the Get-SPODeletedContainer cmdlet.

You must be at least a SharePoint Online administrator to run the cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1

Remove-SPOContainer -Identity 423poi45-jikl-9bnm-b302-1234ghy56789

Example 1 places the Container with the ContainerId 423poi45-jikl-9bnm-b302-1234ghy56789 into the Recycle Bin. The Container will be permanently deleted from the Recycle Bin after 93 days unless the deleted Container is restored before permanent deletion.
