    I deleted mailbox content with this powershell command on exchange 2010 sp1:

    Search-mailbox –Identity <Mailbox> -SearchQuery "received:<02/15/2012" -DeleteContent

    The result showing :

    [PS] C:\Windows\system32>Search-mailbox -Identity Smith -SearchQuery "received:<02/15/2012" -DeleteContent

    Confirm
    Deleting content from mailboxes mona
    [Y] Yes  [A] Yes to All  [N] No  [L] No to All  [?] Help (default is "Y"): a


    RunspaceId       : 9b1d043c-5302-4e47-9a8a-20c78ff8ab5e
    Identity         :Domain/User/Smith
    TargetMailbox    :
    TargetPSTFile    :
    Success          : True
    TargetFolder     :
    ResultItemsCount : 2081
    ResultItemsSize  : 212.7 MB (223,013,340 bytes)

    But when go to Smith outlook the messages were not deleted. Why this happened?

    Hi shrigiriraj,

    Did you copy the output from EMS? I wonder the different maibox name.

    Instead of deleting the content, you can also copy the search result to another mailbox(-TargetMailbox  -TargetFolder) to check the result first.

    Search-Mailbox

    Hi shrigiriraj,

    Yes, I understand. I just want to make sure Smith & Mona are same user object.

    How about the cmdlet now? Does it work?
