[Fwd: Enabled quotas by accident, how do I disable?]

It seems that I've accidentially enabled IMAP quotas on one of my cyrus 
servers -- users complain
that saving mails into certain folders fails with an  'over quota' message.

There's indeed a file in the quota directory:

bash-3.2$ cat /var/lib/imap/quota/u/user
226215
0

Yesterday evening, I shut down cyrus and removed the  
/var/lib/imap/quota/u directory and restarted cyrus, but the file has 
reappeared.

Using cyradm, I can confirm that the affected folders are indeed under 
quota:

localhost> lqm user/abc/folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4
user STORAGE 220/0
localhost> lqm user/abc/folder1/folder2/folder3

localhost>

I am running Cyrus 2.3.16. The cyrus documentation and web resource does 
not contain much info about
how to _disable_ quotas, so any input from the list is welcomed.
