This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Shell to retrieve statistics about a public folder, such as the display name, creation time, last user modified time, last user access, and item size. You can use this information to make decisions about deleting or keeping public folders.
You can also use the Get-PublicFolderItemStatistics cmdlet and the AggregatePFDAta.ps1 script to view additional information about public folders and their contents. For more information, see View Public Folder Item Statistics.
