I cannot remove Exchange as it says I have users and I don't have any users on the server. I have looked all over the place.... Any ideas

I am trying to remove Exchange and cannot.  It says I have mailboxes and I do not have any.  Any advice?

Are you basing no mailboxes on the fact you have removed them from all users in Active Directory? If so, take a look at the mailboxes container is Exchange System Manager. Two system mailboxes are created for each mailbox store which also need to be removed.

You are not able to delete those in ADSIEDIT or in ESM.  There is the SMTP mbx, System Attendant and a SystemMailbox
 
Yes that is correct, what I meant to say was delete the mailbox store rather than the mailboxes.
I'll give that a shot.  Is this skatboarder Harkins from ADSK (awhile back)
Nope lol
Ok.  I worked with a Harkins at Autodesk and that is who I was thinking this was.  Giving it a shot now.  I dismounted the store, renamed the db and stm file, created a new one and the SMTP mbx disappeared.  
And that didn't work.  There is nothing on this server.  No mbx's and no pub.
