Exchange 2016 - Deleted Item Retention Period

After changing the Deleted Items Retention period to 30 days, users are complaining about still only seeing 14 days of deleted data. However, OWA shows 30 days. How can I get the OUtlook client to show 30 days as well?

Hi there! :)

Have you seen the following link posted by the official Microsoft Support team? You will want to focus on the steps 1,2 and 3 as provided. You can infer from the article and I will help you from there.

See how deleted items retention are calculated.

Sudden change in the  Retention period from default 14 to 30 days will not change all of a sudden. Will take time to sync with OWA and Outlook.

In OWA when you click on any deleted items it will show you expiry date or expiration date.

The next mailbox assistance schedule will update the change.

Noah,

I'm still only seeing 14 days of recoverable Deleted Items in the Outlook client. However, I do see more than 30 days of recoverable deleted items in OWA. How can I get them to sync?

I'm seeing only 14 days in recoverable deleted items. So I'll just work with OWA in this case.  

thanks!!
