Deleting a SharePoint Online Site Using PowerShell

This Microsoft SharePoint Online blog post will show how to delete a SharePoint site using PowerShell.

In some use cases, like deleting a Microsoft Teams channel site, we must use the SharePoint Online PowerShell module. Sometimes, we can use PowerShell to delete multiple sites at once.

Note: Before using the code, ensure the SharePoint Online PowerShell module is installed.
