    Sorry I missed that the Export-mailbox cmdlet requires the -targetmailbox and targetfolder parameters. This means it takes a copy of the deleted items and places them into the target mailbox, etc. You can create a tmp mailbox for this and then drop it after you have confirmed you deleted the right content.

    Get-Mailbox -Identity INFOUSERNAME | Export-Mailbox -TargetMailbox TmpMailbox -TargetFolder Junk -SubjectKeywords “junk” -DeleteContent -Confirm:$false

    Hi

    I think you can try -ContentKeywords "junk" instead of -SubjectKeywords "junk", because it select the Keyword in the subject which contents "junk", such as "juck mail","Mail junk"

    The command should be :

    Get-Mailbox -Identity info | Export-Mailbox -ContentKey words "junk" -TargetMailbox info@xxx.com -TargetFolder "Junk" -DeleteContent

    Dont forget create a new folder in OWA or outlook called "Juck", Sean's suggestion is quite correct. After running the command, you can delete them from the folder you created.

    Cheers

    Hi,

    So can you confirm that info@xxx.com is a mailbox inside your Exchange org? If this is correct then get the username for the info mailbox and try this: -

    Get-Mailbox -Identity INFOUSERNAME | Add-MailboxPermission -User YOURUSERNAME -AccessRights Fullaccess -InheritanceType all
    Get-Mailbox -Identity INFOUSERNAME | Export-Mailbox -SubjectKeywords “junk” -DeleteContent -Confirm:$false

    As always test code provided somewhere safe first.

    Hi

    Have you created a folder in TargetMailbox

    Also try to  quote -TargetFolder "Junk" in the command

    And about the error on Export-Mailbox command,   error code: -2147221233, just run FixMapi.exe from the command prompt easily fixes the problem.

    Please try~~

    Cheers
