Question

Quetion1

Question2

We came to know that we will not be able to access the extended properties by the ewsapi and delete that's why we are looking at alternative ways to free up the namespaces for the extendedProperty we created

It will be of great help if anyone could point us in the right direction to clean up the extendedProperties without the uid with which they are created

The item will be deleted, but Exchange will keep the property definition. Which means you can run out of available named properties (0xFFFF max).

Thanks Dmitry ! that's what we found from our testing too, so could you please suggest a way for us to delete the property definition from the exchange ? – user2359997 Jun 15 '18 at 01:48
There is no documented way to do that. – Dmitry Streblechenko Jun 15 '18 at 06:25
