Delete standby database fails

Question

Hello,
I setup replication on database A in server A to Server B and on the same database A i have logshipping setup as well to Server C. Now I removed logshipping
configuration on database A in server A and trying to delete the mirrored copy of database A in server C and it wont let me. It throws the below error:
Cannot drop the database 'DatabaseA' because it is being used for replication.
I tried to detach it and it wont let me. I took the database offline and tried to delete it and it wont. I stopped the sqlserver service and deleted the ldf and mdf manually and after starting it back I still
see it.
Is there a work around?
Thanks

Remove subscription at the publisher, Run the below script to remove the subscription at the publisher database.
Change the parameter as per your requirement
DECLARE @publication AS sysname;
DECLARE @subscriber AS sysname;
SET @publication = N'AdvWorksProductTran';
SET @subscriber = $(SubServer);
USE [AdventureWorks2008R2;]
EXEC sp_dropsubscription
@publication = @publication,
@article = N'all',
@subscriber = @subscriber;
