Exchange 2013 delete all sent email from one user to all users in domain.
So I was asked to do something funky in exchange. The owner is selling the company and he is worried one of his employees might come back and take him to court. He occasionally sends out border line jokes or makes border line comments. His task to me: Delete from the server every email I have ever sent my employees. I guess I can log into every computer and delete from outlook but is there an easier way?
Thank you much.

Looking for some follow up help. I created a test email and preceded to run the command.
After I press enter I get this:
Get-Mailbox -Server "*exchange*" | Search-Mailbox -SearchQuery 'Sender:"test@xyx.com" -DeleteContent
>> _
a blinking cursor on the next line after the >>
no errors.
Am I missing a step?
