The Web Conf Data Tool deletes or moves meeting data only for meetings that are inactive. Active meetings (or meetings in sessions) cannot be deleted.
This tool must be run from a computer that is in the same pool as the target user. The user whose meeting content data is being managed by this tool must be homed in the same user pool as shown in Table 1.

This tool allows an administrator of Lync Server 2010 to have more control over the data associated with an organizer's Web conferences.
The tool needs to be run in the same pool where the organizer is currently homed or from either pool in the case of a user move.
The tool must be run using administrator privileges with access to the Meeting Data store.
WebConfDataTool.exe /User:user0@contoso.com /Action:query ""/ExpirationDate:08/09/2010 12:00:00""
The preceding example shows how a query command would work. The output of such a command would be a list of all meeting content folders that would be affected by this tool.
WebConfDataTool.exe /User:user0@contoso.com /Action:delete
The preceding is an example of a delete command. The delete command removes all inactive meeting folders from this user.
WebConfDataTool.exe /User:user0@contoso.com /Action:move /OriginatorPool:pool0.contoso.com /TargetPool:pool1.contoso.com
The preceding is an example of a user move command. Upon success, this command moves all the user's data from pool0.contoso.com to pool1.contoso.com.
This tool can be a valuable resource to administrators who need more precise control over conference meeting data.
