Retention policy for deleting items
I have created a retention policy for deleting the 'Deleted Items" from users mailbox.
when I try to apply this policy, it only allows me to apply it to individual users (although I can select as many users as I want)
Is there a way that I can apply this policy to a database?
currently, the deleted items are retained for ever and the 14 day retention policy on the database does not work.

Created a Retention Tag for Deleted Items Folder to Permanently delete after 1 day. I hope you will have the retention policy already -> Add the newly created retention tag to the retention policy - > Once added, run the below shell command

Is there a way to do it on a database?

Retention Policy controls the moving of data to archives. Deleted Item retention controls how long the deleted items are available to be recovered from the dumpster.
