hard delete deleted channels
is there any way of "hard" deleting, deleted channels?
i've did some testing regarding the 200 channel limit, now i can't create new channels, as still the limit is reached because the test channels are still under deleted channels….

hum we have channels that are over 120 days old and will not purge from the system plus when you use powershell command "get-teamchannels" it only returns the active channels there should be a way to view and purge the deleted channels from a shel.l

Please allow to mnually purge deleted channels to free up space for new channels when reaching the limit of 200.

Please allow for forced deletion of channels to free up space

Guys seriously this is a problem. We are trying to manage within the 200 limit (and wish it was higher), but if even deleting the channel does not free up room for more channels to be created, it causes huge disruption to our business process. PLEASE FIX THIS. Surely it cannot be too hard to do compared to all the other great stuff you are building.

as teams admins we really need the ability to delete channels before the 30days is up, do Microsoft not trust admins to make this call on our own?

Definitely allow admin to purge deleted channel (public and private)

I am going to go on the same rant. It is ridiculous that we are limited to 30 private channels and cannot hard delete within the time window. This is a limitation that needs to be corrected. If if the option is through the Teams administrator.

Come on DO SOMETHING about it! We are in 2020 and not 1990. I can understand that you need to keep record of things, but at least release the naming of these channels. Every time someone make a Typo is a FREAKING nightmare to have this fix.

This is ridiculous - if I deleted the channel it should be gone. With a limit of only 30 private channels for very large groups, it is easy to hit it. We actually had to split our group into two teams since we needed 44 private channels.

As we have a limit of number of Private channel, it is really usefull to avoid to wait 30 days when you need to free up channels

It would be interesting to be able to permanently exclude channels.
Another function that should exist is the option to change the team channel

Seems long overdue this admin feature to be able to purge deleted Channels was put in place. The limit of 30 private channels is an issue also, especially when thinking to use the channels as a segregation mechanism to use Teams for user interaction in a multi-group solution.

I needed to convert a public channel to a private channel, so I had to delete the public one, and now I can create the private one with the same name! This seems basic. If you won't allow public-private conversion of existing channels, you HAVE to allow hard-delete so we can recreate the same one as a private or public channel!

This would be extremely useful especially when a channel has been created as public and should have been private.

I created a channel for public, and I want to switch it to private. I know I have to delete and recreate the channel (move contents to a temp space), but having to wait 30 days for this seems burdensome. First, I cannot just switch to private channel so I have to copy to a temp area, and now I have to wait 30 days. This should be much easier.

Please add this feature I have things out there that have nothing to do with me and I cannot get rid of them.

We have 19 active private channels, 11 deleted private channels most of which have exceeded 30 days. Yet, we still have them sitting there taking up valuable space, what can be done to permanently delete these? This is an emergent need!
