Best Practice

Note the size of the repositories containing the archived messages for the mailbox users you intend to delete, and then, after performing the steps in this article, refresh the repositories screen and compare the total size difference to determine if the deletion captured all of the expected messages.

  5. In the Search Results pop-up dialog that displays at the end of the search, click View summary to review the search results.
  6. An indication of the number of messages returned displays. Click OK to view the search results.
  7. Select the messages to remove, right-click and click Delete. The selected messages are moved to the Recycle bin.
