Hello Scripting guys,
Hello O365 experts,
I'm trying to delete all the content including the folders of a mailbox with the following powershell script, but I'm getting an error.
$Credential = Get-Credential
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $Session
$Identity = "username@contoso.com"
If (!($Identity))
{
$Identity = Read-Host "Enter user mailbox to wipe"
}
Write-Host -Fore Green "Content from $Identity will be erased."
## Create Exchange Service Object
Write-Host -ForegroundColor DarkGreen " Connecting to AutoDiscover endpoint for $($Credential.UserName)."
$ExchangeVersion = [Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ExchangeVersion]::Exchange2013
$Service = New-Object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ExchangeService($ExchangeVersion)
$creds = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($Credential.UserName.ToString(),$Credential.GetNetworkCredential().password.ToString())
$Service.Credentials = $creds
$Service.AutodiscoverUrl($Credential.Username, {$true})

Write-Host -Fore Yellow " Purging folders ..."
$Service.ImpersonatedUserId = New-Object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ImpersonatedUserId([Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ConnectingIdType]::SmtpAddress,$Identity)
$Root = [Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.Folder]::Bind($service,[Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.WellKnownFolderName]::Root)
$test = $identity + ":\"
$Root = Get-MailboxFolder username@contoso.com
$FolderView = New-Object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.FolderView(1000)
$FolderView.Traversal = [Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.FolderTraversal]::Deep
$FolderList = $Root.FindFolders($FolderView)
ForEach ($Folder in $FolderList.Folders)
{
Write-Host -Fore DarkYellow " Processing $($Folder.DisplayName) ..."
Try {
$Folder.delete([Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.DeleteMode]::HardDelete)
}
Catch
{
[System.Exception] | Out-Null
}
Finally

}
