# Deleting a Message in Exchange Mailbox User Mailbox On-Premises Environment

You can delete a message using User Mailbox (on-premises) Self-Service. When you delete a message using Self-Service, it is permanently deleted and you can no longer restore it. The tenant administrator must assign the Delete data permission to your user or user group so that you can delete messages.

Important

For linked mailboxes, assign the Delete data permission to the user-domain mailbox and associate it with the Exchange client used to back up resource-domain mailboxes.

## Procedure

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Protect > Exchange.

   The Exchange Overview page appears.

2. On the Self-service dashboard, in the Exchange section, click Restore.

   The message selection page appears.

3. From the email list, select a message.

4. At the upper-left area of the page, click Delete.

   A message appears that asks if you want to permanently delete the message.

5. Click Yes.
