Disable-Mailbox -Identity mailboxname -Confirm:$false

You need to run Clean-MailboxDatabase to view the disconnected mailbox.
Clean-MailboxDatabase MBD01
Use Remove-StoreMailbox to permanently Delete a Disconnected Mailbox

Thank you Subsun! It's worked.
1) Clean DB
Clean-MailboxDatabase DB4
2) Check the Identity number of mailbox
Get-MailboxStatistics -Database DB4 | Select DisplayName, Identity | Sort-Object DisplayName | Format-Table
3) Remove mailbox
Remove-StoreMailbox -Database DB4 -Identity "457465d4-6245-48f4-ab45-9
Thank you All for help!!!
