In case you have deleted or moved items out of the mailbox this space will be still taken (and not reported as white spate).
Defrag still provides same size as the original.
First you need to run below command in powershell to clean the dumpster/taken space.
It will delete ONLY dumpster files nothing of your actual emails
Search-Mailbox cape -searchdumpsteronly -deletecontent -confirm:$false -Force
Depending on the MB or GB to freed it will take some time once done it will report similar to below report
RunspaceId : f4493be9-f615-4925-a12c-be81b6444d9c
Identity : DOMAIN.int/ORG UNIT/MAILBOXNAME
DisplayName : MyName, Company Name
TargetMailbox :
TargetPSTFile :
Success : True
TargetFolder :
ResultItemsCount : 111522
ResultItemsSize : 14.3 GB (15,358,571,991 bytes)
Then you can run below command to see the available space to that mailbox (space can be recovered after DEFRAG -D)
Get-MailboxDatabase -Status | ft name,databasesize,availablenewmailboxspace -auto
Which will create report similar to below
Name DatabaseSize AvailableNewMailboxSpace
---- ------------ ------------------------
DBNAME 75.13 GB (80,673,308,672 bytes) 10.45 GB (11,223,498,752 bytes)
Now you can Dismount your DB in question and defrag
For example:
eseutil /d "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Mailbox\DBFOLDERNAME\DBNAME.edb"
