Archive-online
Could you please advise if there is any way to delete the mailbox data that is currently stored in the online archive? Thank you.
Yes you can delete mailbox data stored in the online archive.
- Open archive mailbox - delete folders/items which is the fastest way to delete
- Delete data using retention policy
- Hard delete if requirement is to delete all online archive data - unassign the license and Microsoft will soft delete the archive
- eDiscovery purge option
Hope this give you more info.
Thank you Hashim
The storage in the Online Archive is extremely large almost a terabyte, so manual deletion isn’t feasible. I chose to use an MRM retention policy as the solution.
Got it..Let me know if you need help to create MRM policy. Thanks
