SYMPTOMS
When you apply a policy that moves items to a system cleanup folder (including another system cleanup folder), and then apply it again, the system cleanup folder and the contents of this folder are deleted permanently.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because items in a system cleanup folder or the Deleted Items folder are deleted when you run a policy twice, even if you have configured a move setting. On the first pass, items are moved based on configured criteria. Typically, Mailbox Manager is set to run on the weekends; the users have until the next pass (the next weekend) to do something with the items that were moved if the users want to keep them. Otherwise, items that meet the policy criteria are deleted on the second pass.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
