Find retention policies where items get deleted or moved to recycle bin using PowerShell

Question

Is there a way to use PowerShell to look through SP2010 to produce a report listing all the locations a retention policy is set that has the property to either delete the item or move items to recycle bin.

Answer 1

List policy xml is stored in the RetentionPolicy.xml file in the root folder of the list (Forms/RetentionPolicy.Xml). An idea, iterating lists and reading RetentionPolicy.xml file for the list, check the action.

You can read the following thread to learn how to get RetentionPolicy.xml file:
