I am
sure we may have come across this scenario were the customer wants more than
30Day for deleted user OneDrive for Business. The OneDrive Clean Up Job runs,
and the user profile is marked for deletion. The profile will be preserved in
the database in a deleted state. The default retention period is 30 days but
this value can be modified by using the -OrphanedPersonalSitesRetentionPeriod parameter
for the Set-SPOTenant cmdlet in
the SharePoint Online Management Shell.
For e.g. Connect-SPOService
-Url https://contoso-admin.sharepoint.com -credential admin@contoso.onmicrosoft.com (Press Enter)
Where
URL is the URL of the
SharePoint Online Administration Center
Credential

Set-SPOTenant -OrphanedPersonalSitesRetentionPeriod 3650
