This is occur when an interruption on profile synchronization. Mainly when you move your mystite to another place example: under a new web app or else.. it will remain old my site DB  instances. Solution to this is use prepare to remove stsadm command when you’re moving the profile database to another location.

stsadm -o preparetomove -site <URL>  -oldcontentdb <GUID>

So the other users who have moved and not ran stsadm command can be use following method to treat this issue.

stsadm -o sync -listolddatabases 0

it will list if any old database exists. If it have old databases it will listed as follows. if not changed the last digit 1,2,3 … and check whether  listing old dbs

User Profile Application 'User Profile Service Application' - Partition '0c37852

Then get listed databases and delete it using deleteolddatabases command

stsadm -o sync –deleteolddatabases  0

if your listed olddatabase  digit should use for delete command as well in this case digit was 0
