Youneed to configure deleted mailbox retention times before you begin this procedure. By default it is on. You need to wait until the DB maintenance process has run. Default is every night between 1 and 5 AM (change this if needed) After the maintenance process the mailboxes should show up in the diconnected mailboxes node. Deli

I think you can only change the maintenance schedule. You can change this per database, set to custom maintenance schedule and select a desired time. Afterwards you can set this schedule back to normal. Deli

Yes that would be a better option: Clean-MailboxDatabase Scan the ActiveDirectorydirectory service for disconnected mailboxes that are not yet marked as disconnected in the MicrosoftExchangestoreand update the status of those mailboxes in the Exchangestore. Deli
