Clean up old files

[philmcdonnell]

I saw this command:

echo "action=delete&value=mbox" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

What does this actually do?

Is there anyway to clean up all old unnecessary files left from the old mail/imap?

Thanks...

Where did you see that command?

It may very well do exactlly what you want ;) , but I may be wrong, so I'd suggest you'd tell us where you saw it first.

At the end of the Dovecot install instructions.... Also I have noticed lots of files not needed like old versions of squirrelmail in the var/www/html folder, etc. Also in usr/local/directadmin/packages....

Is it safe to clean these up?

Then yes, that command cleans up the old email tree.

I think you have to remove the squirrelmail stuff manually. I haven't looked at the rest so I'm not sure what you mean, but if you know they're old and have been replaced by new ones you can delete them.

Can you tell me what would need to be cleaned up in SquirrelMail manually?

Thanks,

No, because I haven't looked :(.
