Before you can use the cmdlet Search-Mailbox you need to load the Snap In for this. Otherwise the error above is displayed and the cmdlet is not found.

You can then use the cmdlet Search-Mailbox to find a mailbox and then choose the parameter DeleteContent to empty the mailbox.

Search-Mailbox -Identity "user@domain.com" -DeleteContent

This will not delete any folders in a mailbox these must be deleted manually.
