Recoverable Item Quota

Laksh1999

Hi Team,

I am unable to purge the Recoverable Item quota after disabling the litigation hold option and the auto-purge is not happening.Referred the below link.Anyone worked on this user mailbox to purge automatically after disabling and re-enabling the litigation hold

It can take some time for disabling litigation hold to take effect, even with on-premises Exchange. Perhaps you tried to purge the dumpster too soon?

I have waited for 2 hours once disabled the Litigation hold.I have not tried to purge the dumpster.The recoverable Items quota is not getting decreased.The same size is available now

I may have misunderstood your OP. So you've used Set-Mailbox to remove the mailbox from litigation hold as well as to set the recoverable items quota, and the value from Get-Mailbox -Identity yourmailbox | Select-Object -Property RecoverableItemsQuota has not changed. Is this correct?

Yes.I have disabled the litigation hold once and waited for 2 hours .

Set-Mailbox mailbox -LitigationHoldEnabled $false

Set-Mailbox mailbox -LitigationHoldEnabled $true

Get-Mailbox -Identity yourmailbox | Select-Object -Property RecoverableItemsQuota(Same Output is showing) which was already there.As per the policy it should get reduced.

Auto purge is not happening i think

OP will need to configure a retention policy or Set-Mailbox -Identity foo -RecoverableItemsQuota some_valid_value if they want something that's not default applied. One gotcha to consider (which has got me in the past) is that if the mailbox (on-premises) is using the quota defaults for its database, the RecoverableItemsQuota parameter will be ignored.
