Hi,
If you aren't worried about the data in those public folders, then just delete the (hopefully) empty mailbox database, then remove the public folder database.
That should get you in the right direction to carry out the uninstall.
Sorry if telling you to suck eggs, but you realise you need to uninstall from the control panel to get the system in a working state? Just removing the complete system will leave a real mess behind. Someone at my old job did this a while back and I had to clean up the mess, luckily the computer object was still present in Active Directory so I was able to do a reinstall using the /disasterrecovery switch and then uninstall correctly, but it could have been very bad!
Andrew.

Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Migrating from Exchange 2007 to 2010.
Good morning Andrew,
thanks for that.
Yes. I have run those commands. The addReplica script runs however it
says that the command has run correctly however no values were updated.
Sorry, I tried to get the exact error but for some reason it didn't let me
past back to the local machine and I closed the session before I realised
it.
I've set off the MoveAllReplicas script again so who knows maybe at smoe
stage I'll get lucky.
All that's left are the system databases. There's only a few as well.
OffLineAddressbook is one, events is another and EForms is there as well.
I cant remember them all. I do know that the Exchange 2010 box has these
databases either because it's created them it's self or through
replication. I'm not sure.
I seriously need to learn more about Exchange.
Any ideas?
All I really need to do at this stage is delete the system databases. I'm
don't care at all about replication. I hope that once their deleted I'll
be able to just uninstall Exchange from that server and the 2010 will
behave it's self.
