Cannot delete Exchange mailbox Database

$

Hi,

I'm having problems deleting an Exchange DB, when I try and delete it I receive the following error:-

This mailbox database contains one or more mailboxes, mailbox plans, archive mailboxes, or arbitration mailboxes. To ge
t a list of all mailboxes in this database, run the command Get-Mailbox -Database <Database ID>. To get a list of all m
ailbox plans in this database, run the command Get-MailboxPlan. To get a list of archive mailboxes in this database, ru
n the command Get-Mailbox -Database <Database ID> -Archive. To get a list of all arbitration mailboxes in this database
, run the command Get-Mailbox -Database <Database ID> -Arbitration. To disable a non-arbitration mailbox so that you ca
n delete the mailbox database, run the command Disable-Mailbox <Mailbox ID>. To disable an archive mailbox so you can d
elete the mailbox database, run the command Disable-Mailbox <Mailbox ID> -Archive. Arbitration mailboxes should be move
d to another server; to do this, run the command New-MoveRequest <parameters>. If this is the last server in the organi
zation, run the command Disable-Mailbox <Mailbox ID> -Arbitration -DisableLastArbitrationMailboxAllowed to disable the
arbitration mailbox. Mailbox plans should be moved to another server; to do this, run the command Set-MailboxPlan <Mail
boxPlan ID> -Database <Database ID>.

There are no mailboxes, mailboxplans, Archive mailboxes nor arbitration mailboxes on this DB.  I've run all the suggested cmdlets in the error and I receive no output.  The DB has no retention to keep deleted items.  What am I doing wrong here as it's driving me crazy, all Google suggestions say that you should delete the mailboxes on the DB or delete the archive mailboxes, there aren't any on the DB unless there is some secret hidden mailbox on it that I'm not seeing.

Thanks,
