We started expiring emails from Enterprise Vault about a month ago. I've been trying to find out how many emails are left to delete. We have EV 9.01 on Server 2008 R2.
We've deleted a little over 6.5 million emails. The Vault Store Usage Summary report says there are 16 million emails remaining in EV. I'd like to know how many of those are over the time period for deletion. When I run the Storage Expiry report in the Vault Admin console in report mode, it shows only a few emails to be deleted.
Storage Expiry Report (Report Mode)
Vault Store Name: Vault Store name
Vault Store Id: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxEvault
Number of vaults processed: 1xxx
Number of vaults enabled for expiry: 1xxx
Total number of expired items: 16

The queries on this page show over 3 million should be deleted if ran using the modified date, 2.8 million if using the archived date (I updated these queries for v9).

Which is correct? When I look at the query from the page above, I can see that there are old messages left to be deleted. When I check out the hard drive, I can see the folders named by year, and some of the older folders still have messages from early 2012 and older. We have set expiry to 2 years.
Is there another query or report I can run to get an accurate picture of how many messages are left to delete?
