Before executing the command make sure you've exported all the mail content, once the command executes it will delete all the items, so use with caution.

Looking at a script to purge all deleted items for all users on an exchange database. <br />
<br />
Exchange Version = 2013<br />
Folder to Purge = Deleted Items<br />
<br />
I have been looking at scripts from 2010 but can't get search-mailbox / export-mailbox to work.<br />
<br />
Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br />

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
