# Restore a deleted Office 365 group in Azure Active Directory
21
-
22
19
When you delete an Office 365 group in the Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), the deleted group is retained but not visible for 30 days from the deletion date. This behavior is so that the group and its contents can be restored if needed. This functionality is restricted exclusively to Office 365 groups in Azure AD. It is not available for security groups and distribution groups.
