You've uninstalled the roles but did you also uninstall the Management
Console as well?
PowerShell isn't part of Exchange so uninstalling Exchange wouldn't
affect PowerShell.

Re: how to completely remove exchange 2007   

Use the GUI, there's a tick box. If you've already uninstalled that
check for any Exchange services. If they're all gone you should move
on with your life. To be honest, if you've uninstalled Exchange you
should probably reinstall the operating system to clean it up anyway.
Personally I wouldn't waste anything like the time you've wasted so
far.

As Mark says it's a tickbox, it will be greyed out when an Exchange Role in 
installed. Once they are removed or checked to be removed the Management 
Tools will become available to also remove.
