Simon,
What Shreedhar said is correct. If the mailbox is not on litigation hold, after 30 days it will automatically delete. I would like you to also connect to o365 via powershell and run the following command to see if anything comes up.

$session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $usercredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $session -allowclobber
cmdlet Get-Credential at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:

Simon,
After Get-Recipient you are to put the user's email address or displayname. Read the command. Use the email address the user had.
