Difference Between Soft-Deleting and Hard-Deleting:

When you click "Delete" to remove a team, you are performing a soft-delete. This means that the team will be marked as deleted within the system but can still be recovered or restored if necessary. Soft-deleting provides an extra layer of precaution to prevent accidental deletions.

Super User Hard-Delete Option:

If you are logged in as a super user, you have the ability to perform a hard-delete. After soft-deleting a team, you can refresh the Teams list and select "Delete" again. This action will permanently and irreversibly delete the team from the organization.

Note: Exercise caution when performing hard-deletes, as they cannot be undone. Make sure to confirm the team's deletion before proceeding.
