Hi-

This should be a quickie....

I learned a while back (the hard way) the difference between "disable" and 
"remove" for mailboxes.  Luckily (or not) it was on my own mailbox.  
Anyway...there is a user on our systems whose data got completely convoluted by 
their own doings....so I DISABLED their mailbox and created a new one.  Now 
presumably the old one would go to the "disconnected mailboxes" list and I 
would delete it for good with this powershell command....

Get-MailboxStatistics<http://www.exchangeninjas.com/Get-mailboxstatistics> 
-database "server\db" | where {$_.disconnectdate -ne $null} | foreach 
{Remove-mailbox -database $_.database -storemailboxidentity $_.mailboxguid}

Hooooowever for some reason it does not go to the disconnected mailbox list, 
but I still want to delete it because I don't want this 3.3GB mailbox floating 
around in limbo somewhere.  When I run the powershell command...

Get-MailboxStatistics | sort-object TotalItemSize |  format-table  DisplayName, 
@{expression={$_.TotalItemSize.Value.ToMB()};label="TotalItemSize(MB)"}

To see a list of all of our mailboxes with the sizes in MB sorted smallest to 
biggest I can still see the old one at the bottom of the list (because its 
huge) and the new one which I am currently filling with all of his good data 
closer to the top.  So its in the system somewhere but not in the disconnected 
list.

How do I smoke the thing?

Many thanks!

Feel free to copy my PS commands if you don't currently have them in your 
"handy commands" list :)
