# Removing a Deleted site in SharePoint

Deleting a Site in SharePoint does not fully delete it. Here I will explain how to fully delete a site.

1. Log into the Sharepoint admin site and delete the site from the Active Sites list.
2. Open Powershell. 
    1. Install the Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell module using `Install-Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell`
    2. Connect to the top level site using `Connect-SPOService -Url <topLevelSite> -Credential <a href="mailto:GlobalAdmin@Contoso.com">GlobalAdmin@Contoso.com</a>`
    3. Remove the deleted site using the command `Remove-SPODeletedSite -Identity <URL of the SharePoint site>`
