Exchange 2013 - Removing a database and deleting folders but they still reappear!!

Hi
I created a new database and moved all the user mailbox's plus discovery mailbox;s over and all went well, i then unmounted and deleted the old database in ECP and stopped all the exchange services and deleted the old database files and folders from the
C:, i noticed i was still getting some errors with windows backup and after looking around i notice for some reason under program files/microsoft/exchange server/v15/mailbox the old db folder appears with the sub folders 'indexmeta', 'journal' and 'ms', it
seems that the last trace of the old databases is still being used because the date is always todays date! everytime i delete these foldersers they come back!!
I think this is the reason why the windows backup is failing with 'this application will not be available from this backup'
any help would be appreciated!

Hello,
If you want to remove the old database, you can follow this document to do that:

Did you enable journal on the old database?

  • Exchange 2013 CU2 - Mailbox Databases and Active Sync - update when new item arrive

    Hi,
    Maybe it will be a silly question but I don't know what exactly is going on. We are running Ex2013CU2 Evironment (1 CAS, 2 MBX Servers with 4 Mailbox Databases).
    User mailboxes are in MDB01 and they are allowed to connect to mail via activesync and everything is working great (I mean that auto notification on mobile when item arrive is working).
    When we move user mailbox to another database ex. MDB02 -> "auto notification when item arrive" does not working, but manual synchronization is working great.
    Does anyone have any idea why it is behaving like this or what should I check to fix this ?
    Thanks.

    are you saying PUSHMAIL is not working after moving the mailbox to a different database?

  • HT1338 My Macbook Pro 13" says that I have no more memory in my startup disk. I've tried clearing files and folders and deleting applications but it still says that I have low memory. How do I fix it?

    My MacBook Pro 13" says that I have no more memory in my startup disk. I have tried deleting applications, files, folders, and it still says I have low memory. What is taking up all that space?

    First -- do the target disk backup.  Somehow get a backup.
    You might try booting to Single user mode:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1492 and removing the files in the command line.  When you put files in the trash, the space is still used up until the trash is emptied.
    using rm command removes it totally.  Just be very careful because you remove the wrong file, and you have to relad the system

  • I forwarded an email and now it is coming in with my time machine in 100's just keep deleting them but they still keep coming in. How do I stop it I never asked to recover them

    I forwarded an email. and now it is coming in via time machine I never asked time machine to recover it and have deleted 100's How do I stop it

    Open time machine and shut it off.
    Chances are you will still be receiving the emails, meaning that it is a spam type of malware that may have changed your mail settings and only appears to be from the time machine.
    Open your mail program preferences and set to delete from server after being read, if that is possible with your mail program.
    Sometimes it is not best to forward all the seemingly harmless and funny emails that come your way.
    After all, that is what the kids writing viruses are counting on.
    Perhaps a free antivirus program such as Sophos may help you out.

  • I had my genius guy add gmail to ical - but I hate the look and it doesn't do what I thought it would. How do I change it back? He set up an account and I went in and deleted it, but ical still looks like gmail.

    Since everything you did voided your warranty, Apple will at best charge you the out of warranty replacement fee, and offer you a refurbished iPhone of same specs as your own.
    You'll need to take it in and discuss your options with them directly if they wish to offer you any.

  • I have deleted bookmarks, but they still show up in the 'unorganized bookmarks', how do I get rid of them? They do not show up on the bookmarks menu or toolbar, or 'organize bookmarks' Please help

    There is a total of three. I have tried many different ways, but can't get rid of them. They are not bookmarked on Firefox, but in the past there was a person on this computer that used my 'side' of the home computer without authorization. I will try erasing history next, other than that, haven't the slightest idea of how to get rid of them. I don't go to those sites, and want them gone (as does my wife).

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • My itunes won't open or load.  I have tried to uninstal and reinstal it but it still doesnt work. Help?

    My itunes will not open. I have tried to remove the program and reload it, but it still doesn't work.  Is there something I am doing wrong?

    I am having the exact same problem.  Checked firewall and it does not appear to be the problem.  I have uninstalled and then reinstalled and the bar to load iTunes will get about halfway and then go away and I am left with a white page with iTunes Store as the only script.  It was happening last evening as well...

  • Move Exchange Server 2010 SP1 databases and log files to another partition

    My company has been running Exchange Server 2010 SP1 on virtual machine for almost three years. My colleague created this virtual machine (Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) before Exchange Server installation with following partitions:
    C partition - for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 OS (size 40 GB)
    E partition - for Exchange Server 2010 SP1 databases and logs (size 410 GB)
    Those two partitions are on the same virtual hard disk "next to one another" so I can not extend C partition which gets filled up with IIS logs (when C partition free space is under 10 GB I am backing up these logs with backup software and afterwards
    deleting them thus freeing up space on C partition). I have 2 databases (along with Public Folders) and size of these databases and their logs is around 235 GB.
    Is it safe to move these databases and their logs to another partition which I would create on separate virtual hard disk for this purpose only and how much time this process might take since during this process databases
    would be dismounted and inaccessible to all users? He made big blunder in my opinion but I have to solve this.

    Yes, its safe to move the DB/Logs. You can follow the procedure mentioned in this article to do it via EMC or Shell... http://exchangeserverpro.com/move-exchange-2010-database-folder/
    But it depends on various factors on how long it is going take, like size of the database/logs, server performance, storage performance etc...
    Besides this, upgrade Exchange 2010 SP1 to SP3, SP1/SP2 aren't supported anymore! http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2014/04/09/end-of-exchange-2010-sp2-support.aspx

  • Every time I right click on an image and select Download image Firefox crashes . I have reinstalled; uninstalled and deleted folders and then reinstalled; added

    Every time I right click on an image and select Download image Firefox crashes . I have reinstalled; uninstalled and deleted folders and then reinstalled; added no plugins; checked I can DL the same images in IE-works good.I use Win7 pro and it works in other profiles in Windows 7. I created a new profile in Windows and that worked for about 2 months and now that has gone the same way as my admin profile has done. I deleted the sqlite download file-still same prob..Please help. I use Firefox 13.0.1

    That sounds very frustrating.
    By the way, does it say "Download image" or "Save Image As"? Just checking whether you have an add-on downloader in the mix that might be relevant. If you do have an add-on, try using the built-in command.
    Do you also crash if you save from here:
    right-click page > View Page Info > Media tab > (select image) > Save As
    I assume you have seen this article and tried these things: [[What to do if you can't download or save files]].
    Have you tried the new Reset feature in Firefox 13? This duplicates certain key data from your active settings folder into a new one, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings. Your plugins will still be active, but could be disabled manually if you like.
    More information in this article: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
    If the new settings folder has the same problem, you can switch back if you like using Firefox's Profile Manager.
    Does it make any difference?

  • In my Thunderbird I have 2 inboxes and deleted folders, 1 set in local folders 1 set above. How do I get back to only having one inbox and one deleted folders.

    I have one account in my Thunderbird mail. Some days ago I discovered I had two inboxes and two deleted folders. One set appears in the list at the lefthandside above local folders and the other set is under local folders. My outbox also appears under local folders.
    I have deleted or moved all the mail entris in the inbox which appears under local folders.
    How do I delete the superfluous inbox and deleted folders? How do I move the outbox so it appears above the local folders in the list? Many thanks for your help.

    Surely as I only have one account, I should only have one inbox. How does my POP mail decide into which inbox to put my incoming mail? The two inbox icons have the downward pointing arrow. One inbox is the first entry in the list (below my email address) and the second is the first entry below local folders.

    It is possible it just hasn' updated yet.
    Try resetting:
    Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)

  • Migration Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 with CAS Array and DAG

    Dear All,
    I am starting the migration of Exchange 2010 2 servers (CAS/Mailbox) with DAG no CAS Array to Exchange 2013 with 2 servers CAS array and 2 Mailbox servers with DAG. I read on some blogs that no requirement of CAS array on Exchange 2013. My concern how to
    configure NLB on CAS servers for the client to connect.
    Please guide and have any deployment guide for this, kindly share.
    Thanks

    Hi ,
    As you said there is no use and meaning of having the cas array in exchange 2013 and also thanks a lot to Microsoft for introducing an single namespace facility in exchange 2013.
    My suggestion and Microsoft recommendation should be to go with hardware load balancers for exchange 2013 rather than using the windows NLB and round robin method.
    Why we need to go for HLB ?
    Disadvantages
    of some load balancing methods :
    Windows
    NLB :-
    If you use Windows NLB then it can provide redundancy on server level failure and not on application level.
    DNS
    round robin :-
    In case if we use the windows round robin method for load balancing then it wouldn't provide server level
    and application level redundancy during the failures.At the Same time we need to manually adjust the DNS records during the server failure but on the client end dns caches will create the issues.
    Configuring NLB for exchange 2013 : 
    http://msexchangeguru.com/2013/08/14/windowsnlb/
    NLB configurations for exchange 2010 and 2013 will be same.
    Configuring round robin for exchange 2013 : 
    http://exchangeserverpro.com/exchange-2013-client-access-server-high-availability/
    Advisable method is to have the CAS and MBX roles on the same box if NLB not comes it to play.Because windows failover clustering and NLB cannot be configured on the same box.In exchange 2013 cas role is a stateless server role so there is no need to have
    that role on a separate box.
    Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham
