Uninstalling Legacy Exchange 2010 Servers
Hello
I am trying to uninstall Exchange 2010 as I have migrated all mailboxes to Office 365. When using program and features to uninstall exchange the Mailbox Role Prerequisites fail. Error Below Error: Uninstall cannot continue. Database 'Public Folder Database': The public folder database 'Public Folder Database' contains folder replicas. Before deleting the public folder database, remove the folders or move the replicas to another public folder database. For detailed instructions about how to remove a public folder database, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=81409&clcid=0x409. Uninstall Full Exchange 2010 FreeI would like to delete the replicas completely, not move to another server. I have done this before with exchange 2007 and used a couple of powershell commands to do so and it worked perfectly but for some reason exchange 2010 is being stubborn. Any SuggestionsThanks

If the disk where you installed the Exchange 2010 binaries seems a little clogged after the installation, you can relieve some of the pressure by cleaning up files that the Exchange 2010 installation leaves behind after it’s complete. The installation process should really clean up better after itself but it doesn’t.
The biggest culprit is the Exchange ServerV14Logginglodctr_backups folder. As you can see from the screen shot, this folder held 1.41 GB of data, all of which is utterly unnecessary to run Exchange 2010 (any version). Another of my Exchange 2010 servers had 3.52GB in this folder. Given the amount of storage available to servers these days, we really have become very blasé about wasting a gigabyte or two. In the early days of Exchange, the hard disks that we installed into servers might only have been 5 or 10 GB or so… but that’s another story
These files are created for use by the lodctr (load counter) program (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490926.aspx for more information about how lodctr works) when it updates a server with all of the performance counters used by Exchange 2010. If you update a server several times, perhaps with build-to-build upgrades to install a new build (for example, to install SP1 builds as they are released by Microsoft), you end up with lots of these files because performance counters are updated for each installation. All can safely be consigned to the recycling bin after the installation is complete. There’s a possibility that Microsoft PSS may want to check them if a server suffers a failed installation, but apart from that…
The other major culprit guilty of stealing disk space is the ExchangeSetupLogs folder. I just checked a couple of servers and they each had over 100MB of setup logs. Again, you don’t really need to keep these files around if the server has had no problems with the installation. The Exchange installation process will recreate anything it needs the next time it runs to apply a service pack or roll-up update.
Some administrators like to keep setup logs around on the basis that you never know when you might want to refer to them. But there is no need to keep the performance load files!

Update 8 February 2013: For the record, Exchange 2013 leaves the same kind of files cluttering up servers. In this case, they are stored in the Exchange ServerV15Logginglodctr_backups folder… and they can be safely removed to tidy up a server after successfully installing Exchange 2013. The ExchangeSetupLogs folder on my Exchange 2013 servers stored some 240 MB of logs, most of which can be deleted too.
