    Hi @Alan

    Is there any update about your issue?

    Note: In cloud-based environments, the Search-Mailbox cmdlet is being deprecated in favor of New-ComplianceSearch and related eDiscovery cmdlets.

    In O365, we can use the methods introduced in the offcial document Search for and delete email messages

    You can create the search by using the Security & Compliance Center or by running the New-ComplianceSearch and Start-ComplianceSearch cmdlets. However, a maximum of 10 items per mailbox can be removed at one time. For this limitation, we could refer to the discussion in this thread: Is there a way to delete more than 10 items at a time from the RecoverableItems folder?
