This Q is for On-Prem:

What happens when I run Remove-PublicFolder to remove some Hierarchy+Data. Is it still listed under Lost&Found.



On similar grounds when I use Move-PublicFolderBranch.ps1 or Split-PublicFolderMailbox.ps1, it also soft-deletes the data inside the original mailbox. Does it also show up in Lost&Found as well.


Or its only when we recover out of order using PFMailbox recovery procedures.
