Content Search

Question

After creating a content search "Remove Phishing Message", i am running below command to hard delete the items found under the content search.

New-ComplianceSearchAction -SearchName "Remove Phishing Message" -Purge -PurgeType HardDelete

I found as per Microsoft only 10 items will get delete after running this command once, is it correct.?

After this command what I understood we need to run the command to remove the compliance search action i.e. export file which will generate. Please share what command to be use for that.

or if i am not correct...running the same command again for hard delete will work to delete all items.

Answer 1

Hi @ Microsoft Q & A，

Yes.Delete messages using the new compliance search action, up to 10 items per mailbox at a time.

However, if you need to export the project file, you need to use the export parameter, please refer to the following command:

New-ComplianceSearchAction -SearchName " Remove Phishing Message" -Export
 

In addition, kindly note that to use the Content Search tool (run and preview results, and export results), administrators must be a member of the eDiscovery Manager role group in the compliance portal.
