Hi,
New-MailboxSearch command couldn't delete the emails, if we could to delete more than 10,000 messages, we still need to use search-mailbox, a theoretical method is to run the command many times with different date ranges.
Or we need to write a script to realize this:
Here are an example and you may get a start from here:
Exchange Search-Mailbox Delete More Than 10,000 Items

Each of those articles has example syntax so I would suggest you start there, since we cannot write it for you. If you want an easy to understand graphical interface method I would use our DigiScope product
