We need to remove a specific email from all mailboxes. Can someone provide a clear explanation or the proper powershell cmd to do this?
We are running exchange 2007
ExMerge doesn't work on Exchange 2007 and above, but you can use Export-Mailbox with the -DeleteContent parameter.
A good article on the Exchange Team Blog showing an example of how to do exactly what you are asking is available here:
Removing specific messages from your Exchange Server

I've never tried it, but I think you can use Exmerge for this. Here is how to do it for E2000/2003, but I think it will be the same for E2007:
