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 GlobalAdmin@Contoso.com
    3. Remove the deleted site using the command Remove-SPODeletedSite -Identity <URL of the SharePoint site>
