Managed Folder Deletion

Hello,

I created a managed custom folder and managed content setting and then a
managed folder policy to basically keep the content of the custom managed
folder for 120 days. I added some users and the folders were creted fine.
However, I removed one user from the policy and want to remove the managed
folders that were created automativally by the policy. I am not sure if this
is the design but the system would not let me delete those folders even
though I am logged in as admin. Is there a way to delete the managed cutom
folders from one user without deleting the policy? I know that if you remove
the policy the manage folders become regular folders that can be deletd by
the user.

- Use Set-Mailbox with the -RemoveManagedFolderAndPolicy switch to remove
both the policy and any empty Managed Folders.

Set-Mailbox foo@mydomain.com -RemoveManagedFolderAnyPolicy

Get-Mailbox -OrganizationalUnit "My OU" |
Set-Mailbox -RemoveManagedFolderAndPolicy

- If any custom folder under Managed Folders folder is not empty, it will
not be deleted and the Managed Folders folder hierarchy converted to regular
(that is, "unmanaged") folders.
- It's generally a good idea to clean up the Managed Folders hierarchy (move
items, remove folders) before reapplying a Managed Folder Mailbox Policy
(which includes any custom Managed Folders) to that mailbox.

typo:
Set-Mailbox foo@mydomain.com -RemoveManagedFolderAnyPolicy

should be:
Set-Mailbox foo@mydomain.com -RemoveManagedFolderAndPolicy
