    Deleted items follow this path: Original folder > Deleted items > Deletions folder (Recover deleted items container ) > Purges. When litigation hold is enabled, messages will end up in the Purges folder and remain there for the duration of the hold. If the mailbox has an Online archive enabled, messages might also get moved to the Recoverable Items > Purges folder in the archive.

    For additional details, refer to the official documentation.

    Recoverable Items folder.
