Confirm if items(Emails) purged after running New-ComplianceSearchAction in Compliance PowerShell
Hi Tech Community Folks, We have received a request to delete some items(Email Messages] from EXCHANGE. According to this guide, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/sea...
- Run/export the report, you can see the path for each item therein.
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?
They 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.
