Correct, I am aware of that,
In this case, neither of those items are in hold or custody.
If it is a soft-delete, it will land and showing up in the 'recoverable items' folder.
How can I check if they have moved into Recoverable Items Folder or still sitting in inboxes?

- Ali FadaviniaMay 19, 2021Iron ContributorYap, that was the last report I did. It does the job but not efficient though.
I was wondering if there is any PS command that we can use- Ali FadaviniaMay 19, 2021Iron Contributor
Update:
I checked the Export results and I can see all the emails are in Recoverable Items Folder except two items(emails) although those two are from similar mailboxes that their emails were deleted successfully.
They are not on in-place/litigation Hold aswell. VasilMichev Do you know how I can find out why they can not be deleted? What is preventing the purge? Is there any way?- AnonTechSpecialistJan 29, 2024Copper ContributorThey are still being kept most likely due to the SingleItemRecovery feature, by default this is set to 14 days. (can be extended to 30days) - when purging items they will sit in a hidden recoverable items folder until this period expires.
