I am looking at statistics for the deleted items folder and dumpster using the following... get-mailbox | Get-MailboxStatistics | Select @{n="DisplayName";e={$_.DisplayName}}, StorageGroupName,@{e={$_.TotalDeletedItemSize.Value.ToMB()};n="TotalDeletedItemsSize(MB)"}, DeletedItemCount, @{e={$_.TotalItemSize.Value.ToMB()};n="TotalItemSize(MB)"}, ItemCount, StorageLimitStatus | Sort-Object "TotalItemSize(MB)" | ft All my users though show extremely high deleteditemcounts compared to what is actually in their mailbox. Mine for example is a little over 2400 - I have "0" items in my deleteditems folder and have also purged my dumpster... What are all these deleted items and how do I get rid of them... they are taking up a ton of space! John

SingleItemRecoveryEnabled : False

about 15 minutes before I got the counts. but even before I purged there was only like 20 in my deleted items folder and maybe 200 in the dumpster - no where near 2400 that it still shows. singleitemrecoveryenabled : False no legal hold
