I am thinking it may be best to just run setup.com /m:recoverserver and then try uninstalling again.

Navishkar Sadheo Dont format the server that will leads to many issues.
Recoverserver switch command will work only if exchange server completely failed to boot.
some exchange services still running on that server which prevent to uninstall exchange server application. try netstat -a command to see if any client connection.
Is this server has multi role installed. can you run the below command and upload get-exchangeserver
- Navishkar SadheoFeb 04, 2019Iron ContributorThe server is a multi-role.
I really have no other choice at this moment. Format, recover and then hopefully I will be able to uninstall gracefully.
