Delete Microsoft 365 Group

This article provides the finding of deleting a Microsoft 365 Group in four different ways, as an owner of the Group or as a SharePoint Admin.

Sideloading of apps is not enabled on this site

In order to publish a SharePoint App (Provider Hosted in my case) to a sitecollection it must be based on a developer site template or an App Catalog site template. If you run into "Sideloading of apps is not enabled on this site" error when trying to publish the app the Developer feature is most likely not activated. The Developer feature is hidden so you have to activate it throug PowerShell. Run the following script to activate the feature.

Can't read from source file or disk

When you are using Windows Explorer View in SharePoint you can't MOVE a file from one site to another if it's not directly below the root site, but you can copy the file. See the different scenarios below. Working Scenario Moving files between libraries within the same site. For example: "http://sharepointsite/sites/site1/site2/library1" (source) "http://sharepointsite/sites/site1/site2/library2" (destination) Moving files between libraries across different sites as long as they are directly below the root site. For example: "http://sharepointsite/site1/library1 (source) "http://sharepointsite/site2/library2 (destination) Non-working Scenario Moving files between libraries in sub-sites that are more than 1 level below the root site. For example: "http://sharepointsite/sites/site1/site1/library1" (source) "http://sharepointsite/sites/site1/site2/library2" (destination)
