Public Folders - Delete Public Folders from 2003 after migrating to 2010 (via Adsiedit) - safe?

Similar Question: How do I delete a public store in Exchange 2003?
We are ready to remove our Exchange 2003 server after having migrated all public folders and mailboxes to 2010.
We ran for a week with the exchange 2003 server shutdown and everything seemed to work.
When I try to delete the PF database from 2003 it says it contains replicas.
Whilst migrating i only had one was sync working (from 2003 to 2010) so i believe that 2003 hasn't received the responses from 2010 saying replica removed.
When I look in Public folders on the 2003 box none are listed, when i look in PF Instances they are all listed.
I know everything has moved to the 2010 server and I know 2010 is not showing the 2003 server as a replica for any folders.
I am looking to use ADSI edit to remove the Public folder database from the 2003 server, but want to ensure i am going to delete the right thing so that they do not get deleted from the 2010 database.
Should i delete configuration, Services, Microsoft Exchange, Company Name, Administrative groups, First administrative group, Servers, Server name, Information store, First storage group, public folder store (Server name)?
Or something else?
I have checked and the only public folder with the old exchange server listed as a replica is SYSTEM CONFIGURATION.
Thanks in advance.
