To permanently delete a SharePoint site (especially modern Team or Communication sites), you can use the Microsoft Graph API or SharePoint REST API.
β Recommended: Microsoft Graph API (Modern Sites Only)
π₯ Permanently Delete a Site Collection
DELETE https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}
Authorization: Bearer {access-token}
This deletes the site permanently (no recycle bin). Ensure you are passing the correct
site-id(not the URL).
π How to Get site-id
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{domain-name}.sharepoint.com:/sites/{site-name}
Response will contain "id" like:
"id": "domain.sharepoint.com,abcd123,xyz456"
Use that id in the DELETE call.
β οΈ Caution
- This will delete the entire site, including all document libraries, lists, pages, etc.
- This action bypasses the site recycle bin β itβs irreversible via UI.
- Use it only if you're absolutely sure.
π Required Permissions
In Azure AD App, grant the following Graph permissions:
Sites.ReadWrite.All(application)Sites.FullControl.All(for full delete)
π§ͺ Example with curl
curl -X DELETE https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id} \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {access-token}"
ποΈ Alternative: SharePoint REST API (Classic Sites)
If you're dealing with a classic site, use:
POST https://{site-url}/_api/SPSiteManager/Delete
Content-Type: application/json;odata=verbose
Authorization: Bearer {access-token}
{
"siteUrl": "https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename"
}
This deletes the site collection and sends it to the tenant recycle bin (can be restored using Restore API unless purged).
Let me know your site type (Team/Comm, classic) and whether you're using Graph SDK, REST, or Python, and Iβll tailor a code snippet for you.

π How to Get site-id
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{domain-name}.sharepoint.com:/sites/{site-name}
Response will contain "id" like:
"id": "domain.sharepoint.com,abcd123,xyz456"
Use that id in the DELETE call.
β οΈ Caution
- This will delete the entire site, including all document libraries, lists, pages, etc.
- This action bypasses the site recycle bin β itβs irreversible via UI.
- Use it only if you're absolutely sure.
π Required Permissions
In Azure AD App, grant the following Graph permissions:
Sites.ReadWrite.All(application)Sites.FullControl.All(for full delete)
π§ͺ Example with curl
curl -X DELETE https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id} \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {access-token}"
ποΈ Alternative: SharePoint REST API (Classic Sites)
If you're dealing with a classic site, use:
POST https://{site-url}/_api/SPSiteManager/Delete
Content-Type: application/json;odata=verbose
Authorization: Bearer {access-token}
{
"siteUrl": "https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename"
}
This deletes the site collection and sends it to the tenant recycle bin (can be restored using Restore API unless purged).
Let me know your site type (Team/Comm, classic) and whether you're using Graph SDK, REST, or Python, and Iβll tailor a code snippet for you.
{
"siteUrl": "https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename"
}
