You need to delete them from the mailboxes database: easiest way (although 
it involves restarting your server) is to dump the database to text with 
ctl_mboxlist -d, edit the output text file and remove all lines referring 
to the user, then reimport with ctl_mboxlist -u.

This assumes you want to completely get rid of the user.
