Hi there.

Please take a look here:
https://wpml.org/forums/topic/uninstall-wpml-3/#post-16338821

We have a known issue related to taxonomies, so those will need to be removed manually first. After those are removed, you can remove the rest of the content.

I think that's the issue you might be experiencing here.

Please let us know how things go.

I hope that you will find this information helpful.
