Check for Audit mailbox too

Get-Mailbox -AuditLog -Database <DatabaseName>

Also  rather deleting these system mailboxes I would suggest to move them in any other server if you have.

What about If I don't have a target database ? I only have a single database
PRADIIP SINGH

Run the below cmd

Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -Filter {RecipientTypeDetails -eq "UserMailbox"} | Format-List Name,Audit*

Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -Filter {RecipientTypeDetails -eq "UserMailbox"} | Set-Mailbox --AuditEnabled $false


Get-Mailbox -Arbitration -Database <MailboxDatabase> | Disable-Mailbox -Arbitration -DisableLastArbitrationMailboxAllowed

Get-Mailbox -Arbitration -Database <MailboxDatabase> | Disable-Mailbox

Then try to remove it
