Unable to delete a mailbox
Hi,
We are unable to delete an account completely after disabling it and having an error
Mailbox "user name" doesn't exist on database "database".
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (0:Int32) [Remove-StoreMailbox], ManagementObjectNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : 7D75246,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.StoreTasks.RemoveStoreMailbox
when we are running Remove-StoreMailbox -Database -Identity user name -MailboxState Disabled
The disabled user has multiple entries in the Disconnected Mailbox Container which happened because we recreated and deleted this user multiple times. The user name Get-MailboxStatistics showing is the full user name with a space between Full
Name.
How can we delete this user's mailbox completely.
Thanks.

Use the mailbox GUID instead of the user's name.

$Mailboxes = Get-MailboxStatistics Database Database-01 | Where-Object {$_.DisconnectReason eq Disabled}
$Mailboxes | ForEach {Remove-StoreMailbox -Database $_.database -Identity $_.mailboxguid -MailboxState Disabled}
Worked.
Thanks.
