folder left after dm user.mailboxname, remove by rm ?

[Marcus Schopen]

Hi,

I've deleted an unused mailbox "dm user.emil" and cleaned up DELETED
with 'su - cyrus -c "/usr/sbin/cyrus expire -E 1 -X 0 -D 0 -v -p
DELETED.user.emil'.

/var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/DELETED/user is empty now and 
"su - cyrus -c "/usr/sbin/ctl_mboxlist -d" | grep -i emil" doesn't show
any user.emil mailboxes anymore.

Nevertheless there is one single folder left on the master in 

 /var/spool/cyrus/mail/e/user/emil/team/

which contains some messages and cyrus.cache, cyrus.header,
cyrus.header files. So this must have been a normal folder once.

If I understood that correctly, Cyrus doesn't know about the folder
anymore because the dump with "ctl_mboxlist -d" shows that the user has
been removed completely, no user.email folders are left in the dump
output.

Can I remove that folder securely just by

  rm -rf /var/spool/cyrus/mail/e/user/emil/

The following question would be, why the folder was not available in
the cyrus database. But since the user is deleted anyway, this would
not be my primary problem, especially since the user had worked with
Outlook and had hamstered about 11 GB and 1200 folders in his mailbox.

Ciao!
