Delete Teams from inSync
As an administrator, you can delete Teams configured for backup anytime from inSync.
- When you delete Teams, inSync permanently deletes all the data backed up for those Teams.

- Go to the Configured Teams tab and select a Team that you want to delete.
- Click and click Delete.

- Click Delete.
All the data backed up for the Teams will be deleted temporarily. When you delete a configured Team, all the associated SharePoint sites will also be deleted. This consideration does not apply to the non-configured Teams.
You can rollback the deleted Teams within a configurable rollback window. After the rollback window expires, the Teams will be deleted permanently. See Rollback Actions for details.
To use Rollback Actions, you need the Security Essentials license. Contact Support to obtain the license. Currently, this feature is available only for the Public Cloud customers.
Rollback Considerations:
- You cannot rollback Teams if you delete it, add the same Teams (through auto-discovery or another method) while the deleted Teams resides in Rollback Actions, and try to rollback the deleted Teams.
- When you delete Teams, associated SharePoint sites will also be deleted. Similarly, when you rollback Teams, associated SharePoint sites will also be rolled back. The associated SharePoint sites deleted will not be displayed on the Rollback Actions page.
