Tag: Recoverable Items

Sometimes you don’t need the full-fledged Graph API to report details of items in Recoverable Items and the Get-RecoverableItems cmdlet can do the job. The data fetched by the cmdlet isn’t as rich as the information available through the Graph, but if all you want is a simple listing of what’s in a mailbox’s Deletions folder, Get-RecoverableItems is a good solution. And best of all, we provide a full script to show how.

A change rolling out in mid-October will remove storage pressure on the Recoverable Items structure in Exchange Online mailboxes by offloading some data to archive mailboxes. The idea is a good one because it means that the storage allocated to Recoverable Items won’t fill up and require intervention so often. Users won’t know anything about what’s happening under the covers as it’s all hidden from view.
