Is it time to clean up? Then you can use the “Office 365 Group Expiration Policy” and (soon) “Teams auto-renewal”

Many organizations produce a large number of Teams (and thus Office 365 Groups) in Microsoft Teams . In the long run, you risk that the amount of groups becomes so large that you lose the overview and thus you stand there with a number of Microsoft Teams that are not used and whose content may not need to be saved.
