Hello
Uninstalling a Cluster MBX involves removing the CMS removing the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 installation from each node in the cluster, and then optionally, decommissioning the cluster that hosted the CMS.

You need to remove the passive node... before that obviuosly you move the CMS to active node,,
then stop the CMS and remove the active node..
Now before removing Exchange server , you need to ensure that there is nothing left on Exchange server.. The Above error shos some public folders residing on the Exchange 2007 server.. Follow the KB and move them to 2010 server.
TO REMOVE CLUSTER ROLES..
the articles by Husain are perfect.
