April 14, 2025 Andrei Rachita 0

If you tagged all your files/folders in a document library with a retention label/tag, here’s a quick way to remove them via PnP:

Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://mngenvmcap495437.sharepoint.com/sites/RETENTION-TEST1 -UseWebLogin
$items = Get-PnPListItem -List "Documents"

foreach ($item in $items)

{

     Set-PnPListItem -Identity $item.Id -List "Documents" -ClearLabel

}

Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://mngenvmcap495437.sharepoint.com/sites/RETENTION-TEST1 -UseWebLogin

$items = Get-PnPListItem -List "Documents"

foreach ($item in $items)

{

Set-PnPListItem -Identity $item.Id -List "Documents" -ClearLabel

}

Enjoy!
