Deletes one or more items from a specified folder.
| Folder | A Mapi.NET.Folder object within which to delete items |
| EntryID | A list of one or more Mapi.NET.EntryID objects representing items to be deleted from Folder |
| MapiObject | A list of one or more MapiObject<Mapi.NET.EntryID> objects representing items to be deleted from Folder |
| HardDelete | A SwitchParameter, which if present will cause the items to be *hard* deleted from the folder |
This cmdlet deletes one or more items in the folder supplied to the Folder parameter.
The EntryID objects can be retrieved by a call to Get-MapiContents or from the object.MapiObject.EntryID property of an item. In addition, the cmdlet can auto-convert a hexadecimal string to an EntryID.
The MapiObject parameter is convenient for objects returned from Get-MapiContents.
Note that hard deletion of items depends upon the message store. For example, items in a PST may not support this option while items in an Exchange mailbox may.
It is unlikely that deleting 1000s of items in a single call will succeed. MAPI has internal buffers that have byte size limits. If a large number of items need to be deleted, it is best to divide the list into smaller arrays that are then processed in a loop.
This cmdlet will prompt to execute unless -Confirm:$false is used.
