cyr_expire will delete those for you, based on how long ago they were
deleted (-D option). Typically it's ran from /etc/cyrus.conf on a daily
basis. If you don't wish to use the delayed delete feature, you can set
'delete_mode' to 'immediate'.

Presumably if you remove all mailboxes from a virtual domain, you'll be
left with an empty hierarchy underneath your spool directory that should be
safe to delete, although it shouldn't be taking up much space. Depending on
configuration, you may have some lingering files underneath your
configdirectory hierarchy as well.
