Delete Sub sites

Question

Hi All, How can delete SharePoint 2013 online subsites trough PowerShell. Note: Once delete the Subsite it should go to Recycle BIn For example, "Remove-PnPWeb" this command delete the site perminantly. But I want to go the site into "Recycle BIn" once remove/delete Thanks for your help Best regards, Muniraja

Remove-SPWeb will delete the sub site completely, not send the sub site to the recycle bin. And if you delete the sub site from site settings, the sub site will be sent to site collection recycle bin. Go to site collection site->site settings->site collection administration->Recycle bin->select the view “Deleted from end user Recycle Bin”. Check this link for more info https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/sharepoint-server/Remove-SPWeb?view=sharepoint-ps

I don't think you can do that using PnP. Delete the web manually to move it to recycle bin. You can do the same for a site collection using Remove-PNPTenantSite command, further explanation is given in the below link. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/sharepoint-pnp/remove-pnptenantsite?view=sharepoint-ps I created an issue in PNP PowerShell Github Repo for this. https://github.com/SharePoint/PnP-PowerShell/issues/1618
