Uninstall can't continue. Errors: This mailbox database is associated with one or more active PublicFolderMailboxMigration requests.

Hi I am trying to uninstall a migrated Exchange 2016 server the error I am getting is:

Error:
Uninstall can't continue. Errors: This mailbox database is associated with one or more active PublicFolderMailboxMigration requests. 

To get a list of all PublicFolderMailboxMigration requests associated with this database, run Get-PublicFolderMailboxMigrationRequest | ?{ $_.RequestQueue -eq "<Database ID>" }.

To remove a PublicFolderMailboxMigration request, run Remove-PublicFolderMailboxMigrationRequest <Recipient ID\Request Name>. 

It was running the command 'Remove-MailboxDatabase 'CN=Mailbox Database 1852780198,CN=Databases,CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT),CN=Administrative Groups,CN=First Organization,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=xxxxxx,DC=local' -whatif'.

I have cleared all move requests so not sure where to go with this problem.

Tried
Get-MailboxExportRequest
Get-MoveRequest

show nothing.

Public folders outlook connection status says version 15.2.792.10 which indicates that the Public folders migrated to the Exchange 2019 server.

Also

Get-PublicFolderMailboxMigrationRequest

Hi Mariëtte,

Uninstall did not work, so let me know when you can take a look not urgent.

I managed to figure it out there was a Public Folder request left in the ADSIEdit.

This article helped me.
