Can you connect it to another user object and then delete? You obviously can't reconnect it to the orignal user.

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 J Ehren J.
