When uninstalling sbs2008 Exchange role, I get a Mailbox Role Checks ...Failed

I get the following msg on the SBS 2008 box I am trying to get over the hump to decommission:

c:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Bin>setup.com /mode:uninstall

Welcome to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unattended Setup

Preparing Exchange Setup

The following server roles will be removed
    Mailbox Role
    Client Access Role
    Hub Transport Role
    Management Tools

Performing Microsoft Exchange Server Prerequisite Check

    Mailbox Role Checks              ......................... FAILED
     Uninstall cannot continue. Database 'Public Folder Database': The public folder database "NORDI
CSRV\Second Storage Group\Public Folder Database" contains folder replicas. Before deleting the publ
ic folder database, remove the folders or move the replicas to another public folder database. For d
etailed instructions about how to remove a public folder database, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlin

The Exchange Server Setup operation did not complete. For more information, visit http://support.mic
rosoft.com and enter the Error ID.

Exchange Server setup encountered an error.

c:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Bin>

 

The link provided goes nowhere and I served the KB for the linkid and nothing came up.  I have already migrated to Office 365/Hosted Exchange a month ago and it really doesn't have an impact on anything else, but I want this to be a clean uninstall as I have 2 more to follow this one.

Any suggestions for what I should try to do?

Thank you,

Greg

    I think I missed you. Can you open a ticket here https://server-essentials.com/support/premier-support and use https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/ to sync time between us? We can try tomorrow but I have also other obligations. Pls, suggest a time suitable for you?
