Can we restore a large number of deleted items from the Recycle Bin in SharePoint Online. Is there a custom solution.

This is for both Modern and Classic Team sites?

Thanks!

If you are SharePoint Site administrator, you can recover the Deleted items are retained in recycle bins to its original location, but for SharePoint Online, the retention time is 93 days. It stays there for the remainder of the 93 days, and then is permanently deleted.

Hi Mayank,

You can restore a large number of deleted items from the Recycle Bin in SharePoint Online by PowerShell.

There is a demo below for your reference.

$SiteUrl = " https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename"

$UserName = "[email protected]"

$Password = "password"

$SecurePassword= ConvertTo-SecureString $Password –asplaintext –force

$Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($UserName, $SecurePassword) 

 $Context = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteUrl) 

    $Context.Credentials = $Credentials 

    $Site = $Context.Site 

    $RecycleBinItems = $Site.RecycleBin 

    $Context.Load($Site) 

    $Context.Load($RecycleBinItems) 

    $Context.ExecuteQuery() 

    # The above code will help to retrieve all items from the recycle bin on below table format 

    $RecycleBinItems | Select Title, DeletedByEmail, DeletedDate, ItemType, ItemState | Format-Table -AutoSize

               

                Foreach($RecycleBinItem in $RecycleBinItems)

                {

               

                   $itemsre=$RecycleBinItem.Title

                    $RecycleBinItem.Restore() 

                    $Context.ExecuteQuery() 

        Write-Host $itemsre "Restored" -ForegroundColor Yellow 

                 

                }
