Mar 29, 2019 How to Find the Library Folder on a Mac. This wikiHow teaches you how to force your Mac's user 'Library' folder to show up in the Finder window. While the 'Library' folder is hidden by default, you can prompt it to appear both temporarily. With the release of Mac OS X Lion way back in 2011, Apple removed easy access to the user’s Library folder. Although arguably well-intentioned, this change was frustrating for longtime Mac power.
Here's how it works
Messages in iCloud are updated automatically, so you always have the same view everywhere you use iMessage. When you delete a message, photo, or conversation on one device, it’s removed from all of your devices. And since all of your attachments are stored in iCloud, you can save space on your device.
You can use Messages in iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

This article is for administrators. Are you trying to find items in your mailbox that you want to delete? See Find a message or item with Instant Search|
You can use the Content Search feature in Office 365 to search for and delete an email message from all mailboxes in your organization. This can help you find and remove potentially harmful or high-risk email, such as:
-
Messages that contain dangerous attachments or viruses
-
Phishing messages
-
Messages that contain sensitive data
Caution
Search and purge is a powerful feature that allows anyone that is assigned the necessary permissions to delete email messages from mailboxes in your organization.
Before you begin
-
To create and run a Content Search, you have to be a member of the eDiscovery Manager role group or be assigned the Compliance Search management role. To delete messages, you have to be a member of the Organization Management role group or be assigned the Search And Purge management role. For information about adding users to a role group, see Assign eDiscovery permissions in the Security & Compliance Center.
-
You have to use Security & Compliance Center PowerShell to delete messages. See Step 2 for instructions about how to connect.
-
A maximum of 10 items per mailbox can be removed at one time. Because the capability to search for and remove messages is intended to be an incident-response tool, this limit helps ensure that messages are quickly removed from mailboxes. This feature isn't intended to clean up user mailboxes.
-
The maximum number of mailboxes in a Content Search that you can delete items in by doing a search and purge action is 50,000. If the Content Search (that you create in Step 1) has more than 50,000 source mailboxes, the purge action (that you create in Step 3) will fail. See the More information section for a tip on performing a search and purge operation on more than 50,000 mailboxes.
-
The procedure in this article can only be used to delete items in Exchange Online mailboxes and public folders. You can't use it to delete content from SharePoint or OneDrive for Business sites.
Step 1: Create a Content Search to find the message to delete
The first step is to create and run a Content Search to find the message that you want to remove from mailboxes in your organization. You can create the search by using the Security & Compliance Center or by running the New-ComplianceSearch and Start-ComplianceSearch cmdlets. The messages that match the query for this search will be deleted by running the New-ComplianceSearchAction -Purge command in Step 3. For information about creating a Content Search and configuring search queries, see the following topics:
Note
The content locations that are searched in the Content Search that you create in this step can't include SharePoint or OneDrive for Business sites. You can include only mailboxes and public folders in a Content Search that will be used to email messages. If the Content Search includes sites, you'll receive an error in Step 3 when you run the New-ComplianceSearchAction cmdlet.
Tips for finding messages to remove
The goal of the search query is to narrow the results of the search to only the message or messages that you want to remove. Here are some tips:
-
If you know the exact text or phrase used in the subject line of the message, use the Subject property in the search query.
-
If you know that exact date (or date range) of the message, include the Received property in the search query.
-
If you know who sent the message, include the From property in the search query.
-
Preview the search results to verify that the search returned only the message (or messages) that you want to delete.
-
Use the search estimate statistics (displayed in the details pane of the search in the Security & Compliance Center or by using the Get-ComplianceSearch cmdlet) to get a count of the total number of results.
Here are two examples of queries to find suspicious email messages.
-
This query returns messages that were received by users between April 13, 2016 and April 14, 2016 and that contain the words 'action' and 'required' in the subject line.
-
This query returns messages that were sent by [email protected] and that contain the exact phrase 'Update your account information' in the subject line.
Step 2: Connect to Security & Compliance Center PowerShell
The next step is to connect to Security & Compliance Center PowerShell for your organization. For step-by-step instructions, see Connect to Security & Compliance Center PowerShell.
If your Office 365 account uses multi-factor authentication (MFA) or federated authentication, you can't use the instructions in the previous topic on connecting to Security & Compliance Center PowerShell. Instead, see the instructions in the topic Connect to Security & Compliance Center PowerShell using multi-factor authentication.
Step 3: Delete the message
After you've created and refined a Content Search to return the message that you want to remove and are connected to Security & Compliance Center PowerShell, the final step is to run the New-ComplianceSearchAction cmdlet to delete the message. You can soft- or hard-delete the message. A soft-deleted message is moved to a user's Recoverable Items folder and retained until the deleted item retention period expires. Hard-deleted messages are marked for permanent removal from the mailbox and will be permanently removed the next time the mailbox is processed by the Managed Folder Assistant. If single item recovery is enabled for the mailbox, hard-deleted items will be permanently removed after the deleted item retention period expires. If a mailbox is placed on hold, deleted messages are preserved until the hold duration for the item expires or until the hold is removed from the mailbox.
In the following example, the command soft-deletes the search results returned by a Content Search named 'Remove Phishing Message'.
To hard-delete the items returned by the 'Remove Phishing Message' content search, you would run this command:
When you run the previous command to soft- or hard-delete messages, the search specified by the SearchName parameter is the Content Search that you created in Step 1.
For more information, see New-ComplianceSearchAction.

How do you get status on the search and remove operation?Run the Get-ComplianceSearchAction to get the status on the delete operation. The object that is created when you run the New-ComplianceSearchAction cmdlet is named using this format:
<name of Content Search>_Purge

What happens after you delete a message?A message that's deleted with the
New-ComplianceSearchAction -Purge -PurgeType HardDelete
command is moved to the Purges folder and can't be accessed by the user. After the message is moved to the Purges folder, the message is retained for the duration of the deleted item retention period if single item recovery is enabled for the mailbox. (In Office 365, single item recovery is enabled by default when a new mailbox is created.) After the deleted item retention period expires, the message is marked for permanent deletion and will be purged from Office 365 the next time the mailbox is processed by the Managed Folder assistant.If you use theNew-ComplianceSearchAction -Purge -PurgeType SoftDelete
command, messages are moved to the Deletions folder in the user's Recoverable Items folder. It isn't immediately purged from Office 365. The user can recover messages in the Deleted Items folder for the duration based on the deleted item retention period configured for the mailbox. After this retention period expires (or if user purges the message before it expires), the message is moved to the Purges folder and can no longer be accessed by the user. Once in the Purges folder, the message is retained for the duration based on the deleted item retention period configured for the mailbox if single items recovery is enabled for the mailbox. (In Office 365, single item recovery is enabled by default when a new mailbox is created.) After the deleted item retention period expires, the message is marked for permanent deletion and will be purged from Office 365 the next time that the mailbox is processed by the Managed Folder assistant. -
What if you have to delete a message from more than 50,000 mailboxes?As previously stated, you can perform a search and purge operation on a maximum of 50,000 mailboxes. If you have to do a search and purge operation on more than 50,000 mailboxes, consider creating temporary search permissions filters that would reduce the number of mailboxes that would be searched to less than 50,000 mailboxes. For example, if your organization contains mailboxes in different departments, states, or countries, you can create a mailbox search permissions filter based on one of those mailbox properties to search a subset of mailboxes in your organization. After you create the search permissions filter, you would create the search (described in Step 1) and then delete the message (described in Step 3). Then you can edit the filter to search for and purge messages in a different set of mailboxes. For more information about creating search permissions filters, see Configure permissions filtering for Content Search.
-
Will unindexed items included in the search results be deleted?No, the `New-ComplianceSearchAction -Purge command doesn't delete unindexed items.
-
What happens if a message is deleted from a mailbox that has been placed on In-Place Hold or Litigation Hold or is assigned to an Office 365 retention policy?After the message is purged and moved to the Purges folder, the message is retained until the hold duration expires. If the hold duration is unlimited, then items are retained until the hold is removed or the hold duration is changed.
-
Why is the search and remove workflow divided among different security and compliance center role groups?As previously explained, a person has to be a member of the eDiscovery Manager role group or be assigned the Compliance Search management role to search mailboxes. To delete messages, a person has to be a member of the Organization Management role group or be assigned the Search And Purge management role. This makes it possible to control who can search mailboxes in the organization and who can delete messages.
