PowerShell: Unable to delete Stuck Data Leak Policy using “-ForceDeletion”

Hi Guys and girls, hope you all are doing well, and remember to stay safe. Just got the PowerShell check on the command “Remove-DlpCompliancePolicy“, it seems that Microsoft had made some changes to it and had removed the “-ForceDeletion” parameter from the “Remove-DlpCompliancePolicy” command.

Appreciated and thanks to the commenter that ping me on this at one of my older blog post https://sabrinaksy.com/2019/01/04/office-365-security-and-compliance-data-leak-protection-dlp-azure-information-protection-aip-integration-unable-to-delete-dlp-policy/ .

Just to announce that if you would like to remove or delete the stuck DLP policy in Security and Compliance, you would have to raise a ticket to Microsoft and inform them to perform the force deletion at their backend. There are users experience this and it is resolved through Microsoft Support.
