After removing a Team Group from 'Teams', the correspondent SharePoint site didn't remove and I'm not able to remove it at all as it does not exist, but still shows in SharePoint, very confusing for users.
The same happen to OneNote, the notebook corresponding to the Team Group still shows in OneNote and as SharePoint I'm unable to remove it.
Very confusing for anyone. -

I have a site that I only had temp access to for a period of time in my list. This was accessed months ago yet the site still lingers. As a result of no longer having access to this site I'm prompted to enter my creds each time I hit my SharePoint page. The fact the ability to remove these sites does not exist after being flagged is astounding.

You know, this issue was a last thing pushing me to not advise MS Office 365 services anymore to my clients. It looks like Ms does not hear its customers at all.

From M~Soft "Thank you for choosing Microsoft O365 Support team.
We recently got your logged ticket requesting assistance with "Remove Frequent Site of the deleted group".
If you were referring to Frequent Sites List, there isn't any advance command to delete them since they are landing pages.
However, it will eventually disappear (approx. after 30days) of zero visits to those pages.
3 consecutive visits to the sites will trigger another 30days before it disappears.
These Pages/Sites visits can be counted if an Admin of the Site visits them.I understand it should be more convenience to be able to delete the frequent site in Sharepoint Online . I suggest you vote on the feedback via the link below to push our related team work on this."
I find this lame in the extreme - as a one man band this is mildly inconvenient, but for companies who might have a lot of dev work, or delete groups etc after projects, what this means is that you can't access the frequent sites page until after 30 days - a really stupid situation Microsoft that you need to throw some money at and give us control over what we see/don't see. Confusing for admins, even more confusing for users - I'm going to test out the theory above by not accessing freqent sites to see if this is removed after 40 days. I won't hold my breath.

Agreed -- we need to have the ability to delete old sites from appearing in the "Frequent sites" Thank you.

I am going to be mobbed by my co-workers if this problem isn't solved. I have sites showing that have already been deleted, so I don't get why the icon still shows.

We just reorganized our SharePoint sites, and deleted few of them (it is so easy to create new sites with the Groups functionality !)
But these deleted sites are remaining on the frequent sites page. It is very confusing for the users, and this suggestion should be really considered as an important bug fix ! -

Worked with Microsoft office 365 support on this for 30 minutes today and all they could do was direct me to this webpage and advise they were sorry I was having this problem. The problem is that is the same as you all have reported...I deleted sharepoint sites long ago but they still show on the home view as a favorite.

Spend over 1hr trying to figure out why they were still showing up until I found this!!!

Staggering. It seems that we are the QA testers now.
This is a feature that needs resolving quickly. We cannot have lots of deleted sites clogging up our SharePoint / OneDrive.

If you listened to the users and admins I have a very hard time believing that there is a valid use case for dead links to continue to show up on your frequent site lists. This isn't social media, give the admin the ability to define this page and clear out old junk automatically!
