Cannot remove domain from Accepted Domains - Exchange 2007

I'm getting an error when trying to remove an Accepted Domain.
 User generated image
- already deleted "Email Address Policy" corresponding to domain
- already changed any mailbox with smtp address address corresponding to domain

Unsure what could still be holding up the removing of this domain

NOTE
An overambitious colleague went straight to the microsoft kb that discussed deleting 'disabled gateway' using ADSIEdit

Deleting the email address policy should do the trick. make sure that this address isn't apart and an email policy for a different address. it may be joined to another EAP.

If that fails to work you may have to go with the ADSI edit option. See link below

As mentioned in my original description...

- email address policy is deleted

I've already removed from email policies, and there's nothing in ADSIedit to remove.

Any other suggestions?

the only other thing I can suggest is to try and re-add it and then delete it again. other than that, I'm out of ideas especially since you mentioned you removed it from ADSI edit. verify it completely removed from ADSI and if it is, then re-add and remove attempt to remove again. that's all I got.

Because all other recommendations were things I had already tried, so figured it out myself.
