No Longer Supported
In newer versions of Exchange (including M365), Microsoft has removed the ability to delete messages from the Purges/Recovered Deleted Items while a mailbox or other data store is on a retention hold. This precludes using Discovery Attender to deploy the ‘Hard Delete’ option to permanently delete items. In that scenario, message will be removed from the folder, but they will be placed the Purges folder. Items can no longer be deleted from the Purges folder with Discover Attender. Please review this article for alternatives.
