do contacts go to recycle bin like deleted users do in office 365

would a contact go to deleted item in o365 similar to how a user would in o365 ?

Im trying to create an alias but it's telling me it already exist on a contact for that same user (which i have deleted)

i checked deleted item but cant find anything ????

Get-MsolUser -ReturnDeletedUsers <<< dont see anything here

is there a different command for contacts ???

Run Get-Recipient address@domain.com to find any matching objects. And no, contacts don't go to the recycle bin.

Hi @JasonGodfrey-5248 ,
How did you delete mail contact before? Deleted it in Exhcange online admin center?

Based on my knowledge and test, after directly deleting the mail contact in Exchagne online admin center, it will not enter the recycle bin. And then I could create a same alias contact successfully in Exchange admin center.

You could try to run the command provide by michev to check if the same contact exists.
