So, after you use ESM 5.5 to delete the E5.5 server, you just deinstall the software with the E5.5 server disconnected from the network? Sounds plausible to me, especially since we don't use public folders at all. However, it seems Exchange itself uses public folders.

It's also the first Exchange 5.5 server in the site. I've gotten to the point where it says stop all the services on the 5.5 computer, use Exchange System Manager to connect to the E2K3 computer and delete the E5.5 computer from the site, then in fine print way at the bottom it says: "To verify that there are no more system or public folders in use on Exchange Server 5.5, use the Exchange Administrator program to connect to the Exchange Server 5.5 computer. Under the public information store, expand Folder Replication Status. The system and public folders disappear after IS Maintenance runs (it runs on a nightly basis) and discovers that all the content has replicated, and that there are no other replicas to backfill to. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 152959 How to remove the first Exchange server in a site" So, the article doesn't say so, but it seems that after I delete the E5.5 computer from the site, I need to startup the services on the E5.5 computer, and let it run overnight? And, after all that, if everything is OK, I can then uninstall Exchange 5.5 from it? Maybe this is so obvious Microsoft just didn't bother to include it, but I've been bitten before, so I want to be sure!
