You're right about using the tools rather than messing with the file 
system -- inspired by the above URL, it seems I've solved the problem
now or at least made my users happy again:

bash-3.2$  cyradm --user=cyrus localhost
Password:
localhost> sq user none
remove quota
bash-3.2$  cat /var/lib/imap/quota/u/user
302289845

bash-3.2$
