I had the same problem with E2k. I spent the 245.00. I was instructed to
do a LDP query on the Domain controllers. This verified that there where
no mailboxes left ( except System type ). I then had to insure that the
public folders where moved and re-homed. If this was the first Exchange
server then the public folder system folders need to be moved / synced.
Once you are sure these are synced up ( had trouble with the system
config folder, I was unable to get it to completely move but it was
synced up with the other server) MS instructed me to use system manager
to delete the server. I followed q article 307917 for most of the
procedure. All seemed to work at this point.
Good luck,

Well, if you're sure that the mail store is completely empty, you can
always stop the service, remove the edb and stm files for that db, and
restart the service. That will cause an empty store to be created in
it's place.
More likely though, there is some replication latency you need to deal
with. Have you verified all domain controllers are aware of the moved
mailboxes already?
Have you seen this?

I am having trouble removing Exchange Server 2003. Receive an error
relating to mailboxes are in use on the server - this is not true. LDAP
query resolves just the three norm mailboxes: SMTP; System Attendant,
and SystemMailbox - System Managers yields the same result.
SystemMailBox is the oly box with content. I've detached, and deleted
from within System Manager - same error.
Any thoughts before I spend $245.
