It doesn&rsquo;t remove the actual exported PST files. It only removes the requests&rsquo; record from the Exchange Server as these are not automatically removed from the Exchange Server. This article covers when and how to use Remove-MailboxExportRequest and best-practice cleanup schedules. It also covers some common errors, along with their fixes.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"commands-related-to-mailbox-export-request\">Commands related to Mailbox Export Request<\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/article\/new-mailbox-export-request.php\"><strong>New-MailboxExportRequest<\/strong><\/a> &ndash; Creates the export request.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/use-get-mailboxexportrequest-cmdlet-exchange\/\"><strong>Get-MailboxExportRequest<\/strong><\/a> &ndash; Check the status of the export.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/use-remove-mailboxexportrequest-cmdlet-exchange\/\"><strong>Remove-MailboxExportRequest<\/strong><\/a> &ndash; Used to remove completed\/failed requests.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/use-set-mailboxexportrequest-exchange-cmdlet\/\"><strong>Set-MailboxExportRequest<\/strong><\/a> &ndash; Resumes\/modifies a suspended request.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-does-remove-mailboxexportrequest-command-do?\">What Does Remove-MailboxExportRequest Command Do?<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This command will cleanup and remove the export request commands executed on the server. Once you have completed the exports, be it failed export, suspended, or completed with errors, it&rsquo;s best practice to clean up the requests.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You cannot remove an in-progress export request without suspending it first. For this, use the below command:<\/p><pre class=\"wp-block-code command_container\"><code>Suspend-MailboxExportRequest -Identity \"&lt;mailbox name&gt;\\MailboxExport\"<\/code><\/pre><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"72\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Command-Prompt-window-1.png\" alt=\"Remove-MailboxExportRequest Command\" class=\"wp-image-192714 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Command-Prompt-window-1.png 630w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Command-Prompt-window-1-300x34.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/figure><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you fail to do so, you will get an error message and the export request will not be removed or stopped.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The command will remove the record from the Exchange Server. So, the completed, failed, or completed with errors, requests are removed from the list. Otherwise, the accumulated requests will slow down the Get-MailboxExportRequest queries while taking a considerable amount of time. You will benefit from a cleaner Exchange Server and easier manageability of the new exports. Although the record of the export in the Exchange Server is removed, the PST file will not be deleted.<\/p><blockquote class=\"note_alert\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Note:<\/em><\/strong><em> If you re-run the export of a removed request, you will need to change the PST destination file or rename the already exported file.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Scenario<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What Remove-MailboxExportRequest does<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>PST file affected?<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Remove after Completed status<\/td><td>Removes the completed request record from Exchange<\/td><td>No &mdash; PST remains at UNC path<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Remove a Failed request<\/td><td>Clears the failed request so you can create a new one<\/td><td>No &mdash; partial PST remains if any<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Remove while InProgress<\/td><td>Stops the export and removes the request<\/td><td>No &mdash; partial PST remains at UNC path<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bulk remove all Completed<\/td><td>Removes all completed request records in one command<\/td><td>No &mdash; all PST files remain<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"prerequisites\">Prerequisites<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To run the command, you will need specific role, i.e. <strong>Mailbox Import Export,<\/strong> in the Exchange Server.
