Cannot remove Public Folder replica

Hi

I have done a transition from an Exchange 2003 Server to an Exchange
2007 in the same Active Directory Forest for some month a go. I have
deleted the 2003 Exchange and everything is working fine.

But we had a PF melt-down, and we have desided to get rid of the PF,
and use Share Point instead.

The problem is when I try to remove the PF. Get an error.

The public folder database 'Public Folder Database' cannot be deleted.

Public Folder Database
Failed
Error:
The public folder database "POSTSERVER\Second Storage Group\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.

I have tryed to remove the replicas with the Exchange Powershell

MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server Source_Server_Name –NewServer
Target_Server_Name

And

Remove–PublicFolderDatabase –Identity "Public_Folder_Store_Name"

But I still get the error above.

What to do? How can I get rid of my PF?

:)
