Alright I've figured it out after lots of googling... First I found this "How to Remove a Public Folder Database in Exchange Server 2007 RTM" http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2007/07/09/445967.aspx which talks more about how to move them to another server, which is useful.
On it however was a link to a technet article that describes how to remove the last exchange server in an organization, AKA, permanently delete everything. "How to Delete Multiple Public Folders from Your Organization" http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb201664.aspx After that I got the green checkmark to be able to uninstall...finally.

Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Subject: RE: Move OAB to web based distribution to uninstall ex2007 this is one of those things where i need to write a blog post...there may already be an article about it on msexchange.org. short answer: check out get-publicfolderstatistics - if it doesn't know about the folder, then you can safely delete it. if it DOES know about the folder, deleting it would be a no-no. Someone else may have written about it but NO ONE else can explain things the way you do. So go ahead and write your own blog post on this subject.
