Try soft recovery first
Run eseutil /mh and bring the check for dirty shutdown.....if yes..then bring it to clean shutdown mode.....


If not done, then go for hard recovery.......
when databases corrupt it's need log files for repair and you deleted log files if you have full backup you can recover it .
Log files should not be deleted - When an Exchange backup is taken then the log files will be cleared. If you have lots of log files it indicates that your Exchange Server is not being backed up

Is it possible some of the Exx.log files were deleted accidentally ?

Do you have a recent backup or shadow copy enabled ?

Step2 is where you need to move the logs
