Exchange 2016 Whitespace
Exchange 2016 cu3.
In the past I was able to delete mail/mailboxes and it would create white space within my database.
I would check my white space with the follow power shell command.
Get-MailboxDatabase "datebasename" -Status | fl Name,AvailableNewMailboxSp
Recently when deleted about 10GB of mailboxes the white space never showed up and my database continues to grow.
The Mailbox database limits are set to 0 for keep deleted items and mailboxes. Also, the default retention setting are set for each mailbox.
Does anyone know what else I can check or why my whitespace isn't freeing up?

no retention policy is applied for each mailbox, and I have backups run each night.

Any update?
Check your retention policy and run a backup. These are the two things that can keep mail and mailboxes in your database after you deleted them.
Thanks and Regards,
