What Happens If Someone Deletes Data in Microsoft 365?

Deletion in Microsoft 365 follows a lifecycle. A user deletes a file, it moves to the recycle bin, then to a second-stage recycle bin, and eventually becomes permanently deleted.

Once permanently removed, recovery options are extremely limited without backup.

A Common Scenario

An employee leaves a company in Wellingborough. Their licence is removed.
Three months later, HR needs historical emails for a dispute.
Without backup, the mailbox may no longer exist.

With SkyKick Backup:

  • Mailboxes remain recoverable
  • Historical data can be restored
  • Compliance requirements are met
  • Business continuity is maintained

Retention Matters

SkyKick offers long-term retention beyond Microsoft default limits.

For regulated industries in Northamptonshire, this is critical for compliance and risk mitigation.
