Remove-MgUserMailFolder not working because of invalid ID
Hello,
I've been asked to delete an Outlook folder called Promo across the whole enterprise.
Get-MgUserMailFolder -UserId email address removed for privacy reasons -All shows all Outlook folders for me and Promo is in there.
Remove-MgUserMailFolder -MailFolderId Promo-UserId mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons returns the error
Remove-MgUserMailFolder : Id is malformed
GET /users/email address removed for privacy reasons/mailFolders/Promo ==>I get the following error
error": {
"code": "ErrorInvalidIdMalformed",
"message": "Id is malformed.",
How can I remove a folder named "Promo" across the enterprise using
Remove-MgUserMailFolder -MailFolderId Promo-UserId mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons
Many thanks,
- Well you need to provide the ID of the folder, not its name. You can obtain the ID value from the first cmdlet, Get-MgUserMailFolder, it will look something like this: AAMkAGU2MWM5NzU0LWY3MmQtNGI3OS1hNDVlLTBkMzI3OWVlNWIzZgAuAAAAAAChKSJAhlnUTIHtKSso30ThAQBIPfDMxyP-RYhY8M8xmAPVAAS8XYnlAAA=

- Jees I feel awkward, I have no idea how I missed the trailing =. This worked. Thank you.
