One of my clients has run out of SharePoint storage (hence the reason for asking here) in their new tenant. This is because we migrated an existing Dropbox system in it’s entirety into a Microsoft 365 group/SharePoint document library. We then copied folders far and wide into a series of smaller Microsoft 365 groups. Small company, 20 users, they get 1.3TB of storage.

I’ve deleted over 250GB out of the Dropbox copy document library so OneDrive/TreeSize now reports the size is 214GB but SharePoint is still reporting the original size of 563GB. I’ve gone into the M365 group and emptied the recycle bin for that group.

But I was aware of the 2nd stage recycle bin but I don’t seem to be able to find such a thing for the Microsoft 365 group. I can find it for the root SharePoint site collection.

Do Microsoft 365 groups/sites have a 2nd stage recycle bin and if so, how do you find it? I’ve looked high and low.
