Hi Microsoft Team, I have attached few Files and Folders in Channel's Files Tab and I have deleted a Team permanently by deleting the group from recycle bin which also deletes the SharePoint site created for that particular group. I have restored the Teams and channels through Graph API and the File tab is created in Channel which is a built-in default tab which is empty by default and has a newly created default SharePoint site. But i want to restore the files/attachments that were present in Teams before deleting. Is there any alternative solution or API to restore so that i can add those files to Tab? The data that we are backing up are as below and we are using the same data to add a tab in the channel, but since the data is already deleted from SharePoint for that particular group even after restoring the tabs we are not able to see the file content as the newly generated SharePoint site is empty by default. <a href="https://filestore.community.support.microsoft.com/api/images/5db0924a-dec7-4756-b291-3ae494096b83?upload=true&fud_access=wJJIheezUklbAN2ppeDns8cDNpYs3nCYjgitr%2BfFBh2dqlqMuW7np3F6Utp%2FKMltnRRYFtVjOMO5tpbpW9UyRAwvLeec5emAPixgq9ta07Dgnp2aq5eJbnfd%2FU3qhn54lHtALB3DOLLKLcsLGd%2BGTEaYO8mpSH35L%2BnqZP63cLqL%2FDbY3sfBRyoumqA2Ul4iCrYZ%2F0AZxq9F%2BFUXupPvII44KHkwQqzLGd8uFOA3hEPeaGidVA7paD9BcK4n%2Bb0cZ0iE8l%2Bp2nZCCLO6cTnyebpkbGR9w9dQvMc1U2aPd63%2BIYWklB3xroH3d5mbA7Xe9T7moj8Jrpm6kGVuySGWH4UJWjXH7alp7WXH6OQdp1kGpPl%2BYTsxSz7auYd6BoP2V19nSRarmVR8IUAUS3aIYBzDeiCRSzg8HSbBu0dd%2B%2FU%3D%22filestore.community.support.microsoft.com%22" rel="ugc nofollow"><img src="https://filestore.community.support.microsoft.com/api/images/5db0924a-dec7-4756-b291-3ae494096b83?upload=true&fud_access=wJJIheezUklbAN2ppeDns8cDNpYs3nCYjgitr%2BfFBh2dqlqMuW7np3F6Utp%2FKMltnRRYFtVjOMO5tpbpW9UyRAwvLeec5emAPixgq9ta07Dgnp2aq5eJbnfd%2FU3qhn54lHtALB3DOLLKLcsLGd%2BGTEaYO8mpSH35L%2BnqZP63cLqL%2FDbY3sfBRyoumqA2Ul4iCrYZ%2F0AZxq9F%2BFUXupPvII44KHkwQqzLGd8uFOA3hEPeaGidVA7paD9BcK4n%2Bb0cZ0iE8l%2Bp2nZCCLO6cTnyebpkbGR9w9dQvMc1U2aPd63%2BIYWklB3xroH3d5mbA7Xe9T7moj8Jrpm6kGVuySGWH4UJWjXH7alp7WXH6OQdp1kGpPl%2BYTsxSz7auYd6BoP2V19nSRarmVR8IUAUS3aIYBzDeiCRSzg8HSbBu0dd%2B%2FU%3D" alt="Image" /> Another question is, Is there an API/alternative solution to validate whether the file that we are using in Teams is already deleted in SharePoint or not?

How to restore the Files/Attachments added to Channels in Teams when a Team is deleted permanently?

Hi Microsoft Team,

I have attached few Files and Folders in Channel's Files Tab and I have deleted a Team permanently by deleting the group from recycle bin which also deletes the SharePoint site created for that particular group. I have restored the Teams and channels through Graph API and the File tab is created in Channel which is a built-in default tab which is empty by default and has a newly created default SharePoint site. But i want to restore the files/attachments that were present in Teams before deleting. Is there any alternative solution or API to restore so that i can add those files to Tab?

The data that we are backing up are as below and we are using the same data to add a tab in the channel, but since the data is already deleted from SharePoint for that particular group even after restoring the tabs we are not able to see the file content as the newly generated SharePoint site is empty by default.

Another question is, Is there an API/alternative solution to validate whether the file that we are using in Teams is already deleted in SharePoint or not? Because this data helps us to provide some information to user.

Please kindly help with a detailed technical solution asap.

Thanks

Currently there is no such API available. Additionally, you can check the SharePoint Recycle Bin to see if the file has been moved there. In SharePoint, you can navigate to the Recycle Bin from the site collection to restore any deleted files. If the file is not in the Recycle Bin, it has likely been permanently deleted.

You can use the Graph API endpoint to list files in a SharePoint document library and check if the file you are looking for exists.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-list-children?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/sharepoint?view=graph-rest-1.0
If the Team is permanently deleted, including the associated SharePoint site, you won't be able to directly check the file status using the Graph API as the site no longer exists.
