If it was a DC you will need to demote it to a member server (DCPROMO).

OAB has been moved from 2007 to 2010 and i made it as a default. (The only thing is its not updating properly as per my other post below)

Never demote a DC that is running exchange it will break exchange
just run the setup files and uninstall

and if it is DC can i run demote after exchange has been uninstalled ?
Yes, if you remove it from the network without demoting (after exchange is uninstalled) you will have an orphaned DC which is a pian to remove.

go down to the Exchange Data Migration section
this for 2003 to 2007 but I think it will give you enough direction on the steps to figure the rest out.

i have managed to remove all folders ( i have removed all folders as we didnt use any public folders)
commands i have used:
Get-PublicFolder -Server SERVERNAME "\" -Recurse -ResultSize:Unlimited | Remove-PublicFolder -Server SERVERNAME -Recurse -ErrorAction:SilentlyConti nue
Get-PublicFolder -Server SERVERNAME "\Non_Ipm_Subtree" -Recurse -ResultSize:Unlimited | Remove-PublicFolder -Server SERVERNAME -Recurse -ErrorAction:SilentlyConti nue
after that i had remove the Public Folder Database with ADSIEDIT.MSC

last step was removing Send Connector:
Expand Organization Configuration > Hub Transport > Send Connectors > Right click the connector >properties > Source Server > Change and remove exchange 2007 server from the list
