Hi,

Please use this command to check the status information for copy of database DB13

Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus -Identity DB13

In the name field, we will know the copy stays on which server. Then use the following command to remove these copies.

Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity DB13\MBX -Confirm:$False

Use the EMC to remove a mailbox database copy:

  1. In the console tree, navigate to Organization Configuration > Mailbox.
  2. In the result pane, on the Database Management tab, select the mailbox database whose copy you want to remove.
  3. In the work pane, on the Database Copies tab, right-click the database copy that you want to remove, and then click Remove.
  4. Click Yes to remove the database copy.

After removing these database copies, then try to delete this mailbox database.

Best Regards.
