Great! I have removed them.

�

I took another look at C:\surgemail and I found some other groups of folders & files that are pretty old (some back to 2009). Are there any settings that we can change to reduce the number of files/folders?

�

rec* folders -> each with a summary.dat file inside

ini_*.rec files

lists_*.rec

users_*.rec

Any of those 'can' be removed they are just for your records.� ini*.rec is probably the most useless so best to remove :-).� Also lists*.rec is of little long term value.

Those are logs of the expire process that deletes old messages from the trash foldes typically, and other things if configured to do so.�

You can just delete them all manually. They are supposed to only stay for 60 days, but now I look I think I can see a fault that was preventing the auto deletion occuring, so I'll fix that.

I noticed today when doing some general maintenance that we had a lot of fragmented files on the C: drive. Some of those files were expire_*.log files. They go all the way back through 2012 � 3 or 4 files per month (147 files & a total of 6.5 GB). It seems a bit excessive, so I would like to get rid of these or at least trim them down if possible. They appear to be logging something happening in Trash folders. Here are a couple of lines from one of those logs:

What are these files logging, and how can I get rid of them best?
