How to cleanup the Exchange Catalog Data after a mbdc move

So for example I have a mailbox that resided at the following: E:\Mailbox\USMBDB03 and after moving the DB to F:\ the Catalog data is still there: E:\Mailbox\USMBDB03\CatalogData-4aa4fde6-634a-4845-b62f-d853c52a7536-0ba86735-c7aa-4fd7-a497-5e36462e842d

Open up Exchange Powershell and run the following CMD:

Set-MailboxDatabase "US MBDB Users D-F" -IndexEnabled $false

Move the catalog file to an alt location until everything is said and done.

then do a Set-MailboxDatabase "US MBDB Users D-F" -IndexEnabled $true
