We’re introducing a new Backup Deletion capability in Microsoft 365 Backup that allows users to delete backups at the protection unit level. This feature helps organizations manage storage more efficiently and avoid unnecessary costs by removing accidental or obsolete backups. It also provides a way to adhere to GDPR deletion requests.

We strongly recommend caution when using this feature because it will permanently delete your backups.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 464994.
