asked on Exchange 2007 Public folders removal
Migrating to Exchange 2010 hosting all 3 roles from 2007 single box also holding all roles. In process of moving mailboxes over. I am trying to remove public folders from the 2007 box as we no longer have any clients older than 2007. When I try to remove the public folder database I get a message saying "The public folder database contains folder replicas".
When I run Get-PublicFolderStatistics
[PS] C:\Windows\System32>Get-Pu
Name ItemCount LastAccessTime

It will not let me delete these 2 items, as I believe is necessary to removing the public folder database.

Yes delete the entry "CN=Second Storage Group" or "CN=Public Folder Database" and simply restart the IS service on the server

I believe both ways would have worked. My comment worked for me.
CN=Second Storage Group
CN=Public Folder Database
There is nothing under the public folder database container. Do I delete the "Public Folder Database"?
--------------------------
When I go to my Exchange 2010 Server and click on any of the mailbox databases, it lists
2007server\second storage group\public folder database
It will let me browse for another public folder, but as stated, I don't want to use public folders. Will deleting the entry in ADSI remove this entry?
