To remove the Public folders, you need to have owner permissions to the
folders and delete them using the Outlook Client.
However, if you remove the directory replication connector between the site
to be deleted and it's upstream site, it becomes moot as the PF's will
disappear from the directory once the KCC is run on the upstream directory
connector server.
Once the DR connector has been removed, you will then be able to remove the
mail transport connector (x.400 connector, Internet mail connector, x.25
connector). Otherwise you will get an error message telling you that you
still have a DR connector.

Subject: deleting last instance of a public folder
In the process of reorganizing our Exchange environment, we need to remove
a site from the organization. This site has one server which is a
bridgehead .
I have read the directions for removing the first server (Server X) in a
site but they get a little fuzzy when it is the first and only server in a
site. I have exmerged out all the mailboxes and deleted all the
distribution lists.
But what do I about removing Public Folders - There are 2 homed on Server
X. Contents 0-bytes, 0 items but they are seen in the public folder
hierarchy on Server Y. Apparently, you can't remove them from the
Information store on this server because there is only one instance of
them. Is there anything else I need to do?
The other gotchas in the queue article seem to be
OAB, FB, Forms, and GWART - all this seems to apply only if there are
mutiple servers in the site.
So this seems to take me to the second article - How to Delete a SErver
from Site. This tells me to remove mail connectors. Question - When I
remove my mail connector is this going to remove my Directory replication
connector? Then I guess I run the consistency checker on the other
servers in the other sites. Does this sound right? Grateful for any
insight or article that talk about removing first and only server in a
site and retiring a site.
