** Deleted mailbox will be visible after online maintenance runs and completes** so if you do not want to wait and wish to re-connect the disconnected mailbox to another AD user object here is what you need to do run Clean-MailboxDatabase  CMDLET.

Get-Mailboxdatabase | Clean-MailboxDatabase

This will clean  all DBs in given  SMTP organization.

My mail server name is mail2 , I would use fallowing CMDLET, substitute mail2 to your own mail server name.

Get-Mailboxdatabase | Where{ $_.Server –eq “mail2”}| clean-MailboxDatabase

This message highlights an important aspect of mailbox management. When you delete mailboxes, they won't be visible in the Exchange Management Console (EMC). This is a common behavior in email administration, as deleted items are typically moved to a hidden or deleted items folder before they are permanently removed. It's a crucial consideration for IT administrators when handling mailbox deletions and data retention policies.
