How to Delete Public Folder Store

I am preparing to activate Standby Continuous Replication (SCR), and understand that I need to disable all Public Folder replication before activating SCR. I was replicating public folders between my E2K7 cluster and an Exchange 2003 server, so I removed the individual PF replicas folder by folder from the Exchange 2003 PF store, and then selected "Move Replicas". Thta was a couple of days ago, and there are still 6 folders present in the Public Folder Instances on the E2K3 PF store. One of the folders is the Organizatio Forms folder, and I have already had to recreate an organization form that was not present after I selected "Move Replicas". The other folders that are still in Public Folder Instance are all calendar folders that have had custom forms installed. I think I will have to use adsi edit soon to delete this store. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

peakpeak probably my ignorance but I could not figure out how to use the InterOrg utility to solve my problem. I do want to update this issue. After about three days the Organization Forms folder finally did disappear from the Public Folder Instances folder, leaving 5 calendar folders that just would not go away. I finally used adsi edit to delete the public folder store, and do not believe any data was lost by doing so.
