Retention Policies set but files not deleting Items Exchange 2010
Windows 2008 R2 64 bit
Created 3 retention Policy Tags
1. Clear Deleted Items Age Limit 14 days Action Delete and Allow Recovery
2. Delete Junk E-Mail Age Limit 14 days Action Delete and Allow Recovery
3. Clear Sent Items Age Limit 45 days Action Delete and Allow Recovery
In Outlook Clients When I click on the folder Deleted Items, Sent Items Junk E-Mail I click on Policy and I see the Policy named from the retention tag.
I do get event Id 10027 every so often showing

But I see no logs in this folder D:\program files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\v14\logging\Managed
The main problem is that I have items in the three folders older than the retention policy age days.
Example I have entries dates in 2014 still
I was hoping that the Retention Policy with the correct tags would clean up these folders.
I was hoping to see the logs to help determine what is going on.
Thoughts.

I used that same article to do my setup.
I have two questions here.
1. Why do I still have emails in my folders when the retention policy tags are set at 14 days?
2. Why am I not seeing any Log files for Retention Policies?
I believe I have the Tags and Policy setup and assigned properly
