Corrupted mail account

We're running the default Cyrus IMAP server on an Apple Xserve
(10.3.9). One of our users corrupted two of their IMAP folders by
attempting to move it to a new location, then back, apparently before
the copy was complete. Now, instead of something like this:
/Foo
/Bar
They now have this:
/Foo/Bar
/Bar
Where neither "Bar" folders are readable by the client. At this
point, I just want to delete them both and allow the user to recreate
their IMAP structure and upload (they POP'd all their mail to local
storage). Unfortunately, when I delete their folders and do a
reconstruct as the cyrus user, it recreates the broken structure. I
don't know much about Cyrus, but I'm guessing there's a master copy
of this information stored in db. How can I blow away this user's
mail store and rebuild?
Thanks,
