With regards to the purge, you have two options: (three, actually)
1) Purge the user’s Dumpster immediately after deleting all the items. In my experience, dumpster purging of significant quantities of data produces significant iops on your storage, so be a bit wary of when.. 2) Reduce the time period for how long Dumpster items are kept. [DeletedItemRetention] (will affect all users on the database). 3) Move the user to an isolated mailbox database and apply the amended DeletedItemRetention. Allow it to work, then move the user back. I’d also look into creating a new database anyway – 90GB of whitespace is a lot for your backups to be contending with. Then, after it’s all resolved, apply a quota to this person’s mailbox. This is precisely the reason we don’t allow unlimited quotas, even though people can ask for more should the need arise.

I have a user with an iPad running IOS 6.1. She managed to ok 4 entries last night in her calendar. This set off the repeat trick for these 4 entries. I now have 8700+ calendar items that I need to kill. Unfortunately one of these was one with 41mb of attachments - so her mailbox grew by 90g before I got it stopped this morning. I am now faced with killing these entries. I have isolated them into a calendar folder of their own. But, they don't want to delete because of their existence on the calendar. I also want to get them to purge quickly so they don't clog the database more than they already have. Suggestions?
