I have 2 mailbox databases that are corrupt and unmounted (also can't mount these databases because of them being corrupt) and I need to remove (delete) these db's. I was able to remove all other db copies and another db that was a primary copy without an issue. These however give me the below error message. Can anyone tell me how I can remove these db's? The disk storage they are currently on is SAN connected and will be going away one these db's have been removed from the Exchange mailbox servers they are currently on.
I understand that the cmd's should be ran that are in the error message but since the db's can't be mounted they can't be ran.
Any and all help is appreciated.
