In our Test environment, I've created a few hold under a case in eDiscovery Core and I already delete those hold using PowerShell but It's sill displaying in Security & Complinace center so I wanna know when it will completely remove from the UI?.
The reason I'm asking is because we want to test, creating, updating and removing hold immediately in our test enviroment and if the holds keep displaying in the S&CC then it kinda delaying out process.
I'm getthing this errors.

Hi Manu, I use this command Remove-CaseHoldPolicy so just wondering what are the different between with that command?. I look at Microsoft Doc but still confused.
Hi, have you tried -ForceDeletion switch along with Remove-CaseHoldPolicy to see if it helps
Here is a test for you:
If we delete a case hold policy, it will in the "pending deletion" state:
If we try to use the "ForceDeletion" when deleting an existing policy, we will get this error below:
So, we can know the "ForceDeletion" attribute is used to delete the "pending deletion" policy:

Hi Kyle,
I'm new to this case hold process so can you please explain to me what is this rule that this error is talking about and why I can't force delete it?.
It said, this policy is used by a CaseHoldRule:
You need to find which rule this policy contained in, then delete this rule:
Wait about 1 minute, you will could this policy now:

Knowing the error is helpful, but knowing the cmdlet you're using when you encounter the error is important.
Is it the Remove-DlpCompliancePolicy cmdlet?
Here's an answer from several years ago: a8e9c629-22a3-4f66-90ab-7166df879f4c
I don't see the "-ForceRemoval" parameter in the on-line help for that cmdlet, but give it a try.
oh Sorry Rich for forgetting to mentioned it. I use Remove-CaseHoldPolicy. by anychance can you give me a simple answer on what the different between the two. I look at Microsoft doc but still confused.
Remove-DlpCompliancePolicy is used for Data Loss and Prevention (e.g. preventing company secrets from being disclosed). Remove-CaseHoldPolicy is used to hold items that might be needed for investigation (e.g. certain spreadsheets, images, etc.).
Policies have rules. Perhaps the policy you're trying to remove still has some rules associated with it? If so, remove the rules, too.
