Description

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1

Delete-QuarantineMessage -Identity c14401cf-aa9a-465b-cfd5-08d0f0ca37c5\4c2ca98e-94ea-db3a-7eb8-3b63657d4db7

This example deletes the quarantined message with the specified Identity value.

Example 2

$ids = Get-QuarantineMessage | select -ExpandProperty Identity

Delete-QuarantineMessage -Identity $ids[4]

This example deletes the 5th quarantined message in the list of results from Get-QuarantineMessage. The first message has the index number 0, the second has the index number 1 and so on.

Example 3

$ids = Get-QuarantineMessage | select -ExpandProperty Identity

Delete-QuarantineMessage -Identities $ids -Identity 000

This example deletes all quarantined messages. The Identity parameter is required, but the value 000 is ignored.

Parameters

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
