**Note**: To resolve the error in Scenario 4, manage holds by using the [Get-CaseHoldPolicy](/powershell/module/exchange/get-caseholdpolicy) command or the Microsoft Purview portal and ensure the location is released from the case hold policy before attempting deletion. If the hold is not released, use the [Set-CaseHoldPolicy](/powershell/module/exchange/set-caseholdpolicy) command to release it, and if the policy cannot be found by using the Get-CaseHoldPolicy command or the Purview portal, use the [Invoke-HoldRemovalAction](/powershell/module/exchange/invoke-holdremovalaction) command to clean up the orphan hold.
