Trying to remove System Mailbox and SMTP accounts from a mailstore

We had a corrupt db with Exchange 2k3 so I created a new store and moved all of our mailboxes over to that. I am now trying to just get rid of the old store. I was able to move the System Attendant mailbox with adsiedit but I cannot remove the system mailbox and smtp account from the first storage group mailstore. When I right click it gives me no option to move or delete the mailboxes.

I tried just dismounting the store and then deleting it but it will not let me saying there are users or accounts still in the store.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Your directions are for when moving to a different exchange server which we didn't do.  We are still on the same exchange server so when I search for users by the suggested filter it shows all of our user accounts.  Do you have any suggestions for searching for the users?  I tried the attribute Exchange Mailbox Store but it returned no results.

Nevermind the previous post.  I figured it out.  I wasn't searching by the full AD object location.  I was just typing in the individual store names.  I found the addresses and moved them and was able to delete the store and group.  Then restarted the info and sysatten store.

Thanks for your help!!!  You saved us a support call with MS.
