How to clear the Discovery Holds folder
To find whether this discovery holds folder is completely full, use the below-mentioned command. Step 1: Connect-ExchangeOnline and then, Step 2: Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -Identity us...
Great post, thank you. This helped me when both RecoveryItems and DiscoveryHolds were full. We had a lot of retention policies, so using this command excluded them from all polices:
Get-RetentionCompliancePolicy | foreach {Set-RetentionCompliancePolicy -identity $_.name -AddExchangeLocationException <user>}Also, it can take a lot more than a few minutes if the mailbox has a lot of items (in my case, 100GB). It's going very slow for me, maybe 1GB every hour or two.
Amazing! This solved my problem with an email account that's impossible to delete items from the "Recoverable Items" folder. I have invested a lot of hours trying to solve the problem with no results.
This saved me!
Finally, I used a script that made it easier!
