Will deleting unwanted mailbox in exchange 2007 free space on the Drive where Exchange database is Hosted
Hi
We have exchange 2007 server and the database is hosted on D drive. The total space on this drive is 379GB and now the free space available on this drive is only 27GB.
There are more than 100 mailboxes that are no more required (Mailbox of users who have left our organisation)
Firstly:
If I delete all these mail boxes that are not required, will I be able to reclaim space on the D drive.
Secondly:
I know to forcefully remove a single mailbox from exchange through the following command.
Is there a way to remove all the mailbox from exchange at one go.
List all disconnected mailboxes
Get-MailboxStatistics | where-object { $_.DisconnectDate -ne $null } | Select DisplayName,MailboxGuid
Removing a single mailbox
Remove-Mailbox -Database <Database-Name> -StoreMailboxIdentity <MailboxGuid> -confirm:$true
Your suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Thanks Kimputer
Finally , I am thinking different ways to manage this server for another 10 months and looking to migrate to Windows 2013 server.
If I delete the unnecessary mailboxes , will the Veeam backup\Snapshot size and backup time of exchange get reduced.
