On the files posted or uploaded to Teams, OneDrive for Business, or SharePoint by those who graduated, completed, or retired

After graduation, completion of studies, or retirement, you will not be able to use the Microsoft 365 (EES benefit) anymore.
The old account of this service will be deleted about one month after graduation, completion, or retirement.

When you go on to graduate school, please use your new account.
(This is because when you go on to graduate school, you will be given a new student ID and the UTID-NAME (the part of your email address before the @) will change.)

  • Chat
    A chat that you conduct with one specific person by clicking on the ‘Chat’ icon in the Teams application is called a ‘Private Chat’.
    A chat with two or more people is called a ‘Group Chat’.
    If some of the users you have chatted with are deleted, their messages in the chat will not be deleted.
    For exchanged in one-to-one chat, you may not be able to access the user’s data after deleting the user account.
    Files posted to “Chat” will be stored in the “OneDrive for Business” of the user who uploaded the file.
    The default function of OneDrive for Business is to delete the OneDrive for Business disk space for a user if more than 30 days have passed since the user account was deleted.
    If you need a file uploaded by a user whose account has been permanently deleted on the left menu [Chat] of the Microsoft Teams application, you have to back up the file within 30 days of the user’s deletion.
  • Team
    Even someone’s account is permanently deleted, the posted files to “Team” are still stored on the SharePoint site and the members can access that data.
    You can also browse previous posts by being invited by the relevant team again on your new account.
    Files posted to “Team” will be stored on the SharePoint site associated with the team, and the items will be shared with team members.
