In this blog we discuss how you can restore deleted files in the new SharePoint Admin Center. When a global or SharePoint admin in Office 365 deletes a site, it is moved to the site collection Recycle Bin and retained for 93 days. After 93 days, sites and their content and settings are permanently deleted, including:
- Document libraries and files
- Lists and list data
- Site settings and history
- Any subsites and their contents
In this blog post, let's explore how to restore a deleted site in the new SharePoint Admin Center.
