System mailbox corrupted
We're migrating from exchange 2013 to 2019 on-prem.
All the mailboxes have been migrated to the new server including all the "system" mailbox as arbitration, auditing, etc
Checking the enviroment, before decomissioning the exchange 2013 server we noticed an error
we got this system mailbox that we don't understand what it is
Get-Mailbox -filter { (name -like "SystemMailBox*") } | ft -AutoSize
WARNING: The object XXXXXX/Microsoft Exchange System Objects/SystemMailbox{3654B126-D8E0-47B3-85FA-2CA0FCFF7711} has been corrupted or isn't compatible with Microsoft support
requirements, and it's in an inconsistent state. The following validation errors happened:
WARNING: Database is mandatory on UserMailbox.

---- ----- ---------- -----------------
SystemMailbox{3654B126-D8E0-47B3-85FA-2CA0FCFF7711} SystemMailbox{3654B126-D8E0-47B3-85FA-2CA0FCFF7711} XXXXXX Unlimited
The server mentioned in the "servername" column, here changed to XXXXX, does not exists anymore as it was an old DC decomissioned.
The recipientTypeDetails of this mailbox is
RecipientTypeDetails : LegacyMailbox
is it a mailbox that is needed, and so be recovered in a way, or can this be deleted ?
I can't find that mailbox guid between the arbitration mailboxes, probably it is too old and maybe not even from 2013
