asked on

exchange, dumpster quota

Usually if the mailbox is on Litigation Hold we increase the quota, what do we do if the user is not on Litigation Hold?

we are getting dumster quota warning,

I checked the database size where mailbox is sitting, got below:
RecoverableItemsQuota        : 100 GB (107,374,182,400 bytes)
RecoverableItemsWarningQuota : 90 GB (96,636,764,160 bytes)

I checked the mailbox itself, I got this :
RecoverableItemsQuota                  : 120 GB (128,849,018,880 bytes)
RecoverableItemsWarningQuota           : 110 GB (118,111,600,640 bytes)
CalendarLoggingQuota                   : 6 GB (6,442,450,944 bytes)

can I still increase the recoverable items quota for mailbox  ?

will it create any issues?
 
or how can I purge dumpster data?

can we see the data range of items in dumpster?

can you share any powershell command

my boss wants to know : date ranges for the emails in the dumpster

is there any command you can share?
edit email address and your dates and leave the ..  between the dates exactly as it is
run 2 different commands if need be

Search-Mailbox "emailaddressofthemailbox" -SearchDumpsterOnly  –SearchQuery “Received:1/1/2017..04/14/2017” -DeleteContent

Search-Mailbox "emailaddressofthemailbox" -SearchDumpsterOnly  –SearchQuery “Sent:1/1/2017..04/14/2017” –DeleteContent

not sure your command didn't work?
You have to verify if Litigationhold is enabled and also check retention policy on the mailbox
