Please i need your help on this issue.

 

Remove-mailuser parameter -PermanentlyDelete is not found.

 

We need to confirm if this is the parameter to remove-mailuser for Exchange Online (Cloud) as mentioned in this Microsoft documentation below: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/remove-mailuser?view=exchange-ps

Hi @IniobongNkanga-8038,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A platform!

According to the official documentation, the -PermanentlyDelete parameter is available only in the cloud-based service and applies to Exchange online. However, the official documentation also states that this switch works only on mail users that have already been deleted, but are still recoverable (known as soft-deleted mail-users).

So, before using its parameters, make sure that your situation complies with these regulations.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any queries.

Best,
