Delete or Limit Purged Items

I'm trying to figure out why the TotalDeletedItemSize is so large and how to either delete, set a lower limit, or maintain via policy.

I run get-recipient <username> | select *deleted* and get the size. This is obviously not in his Deleted Items folder in Outlook but should be the items in Purges correct?

I have looked at setting up a Retention Policy in EMC but do not see anything that pertains to that so I imagine I have to do it via Managed Folder Policy?

Thanks!

Have a look at this on deleted item retention
http://exchangepedia.com/blog/2008/09/configuring-deleted-item-retention.html?showComment=1221594300000
and

These are Exch2007, but may still apply to 2010.

The bottom of this nice article shows 2010 specifically:

Thanks, but I have read over those. What I need to know is how to manage the Recoverable Items. The soft limit is 20 GB and hard limit is 30 GB. Are these changeable and is there a way to delete some of those items.
