    what version of EV are you running? because its possible in EV8 that those items are shared, regardless of how old or what their retention is, so if you were to just blow away a vault store partition, you'd end up breaking other peoples email.

    Honestly you'd be best off getting new storage and being a bit more aggressive about the Storage Expiry, because it isn't going to get any easier or lighter from here

 Hi MichelZ

Thanks for the fast reply.

I have not deleted anything yet. If I try and delete the partition via the EV console it states that it cannot be deleted because it is not empty. Storage deleting is deleting 1600 items per hour. So during our weekend storage expiry run it will delete about 2 million items. Before we upgraded to version 8 we where doing about 4 million items per weekend run. 

Right not if there is a way to delete the data and then run a tool to get rid of the idexes I am willing to take that chance as I am running really low on disk space.
