Is it an auditlog mailbox? try run a get-mailbox -auditlog and see what mailbox DB it/they live on. If it does live on the DB you can delete it using the disable-mailbox cmdlet.

Thanks for the quick response.
If I try run get-mailbox -auditlog, it tells me it cannot find the command. the rest like -arbitration etc works fine.- if you use "tab" to cycle through the available options for the get-mailbox cmdlet, you can run through those options to see if anything lives on it. It's possible it's left over from a much older version of Exchange. As last resort, you can also go to ADUC and look in the User container for an object with the same name and delete from there or use ADSI edit to delete the DB.

If I look in the AD under users, I do not see that system mailbox. I do however see it under Microsoft Exchange System Objects.
