remove POP account doesn't remove all files

[spaceman]

Hi All,

I just used add/remove accounts to remove a POP account containing 50Mb of unwanted junk emails.

But no disk space was freed up.

Reason:

/home/accname/mail/username WAS deleted

/home/accname/mail/accname/username was NOT deleted.

Is this just me, or should Cpanel be taking care of the deletion of all files asoociated with a POP account when it is deleted?

A feature request perhaps?

Thanks for your comments.

Dear spaceman,

Cpanel will have a backup of the mails associated with a POP account, so the disk space will not be freed up when the pop account is deleted. You have to manually delete those mails or you can run a script to automate this process.

How much better it would be if, when it came to deleting a POP account, there was a check box option that said

"Delete all files, including backups, associated with this POP account?"

Usability - gotta love it. :-)

mickeymouse,

Do you have such a script, or know where it is?

same probs with my boxes also. The files don't get deleted. If a user selects to delete a pop account, the files should be deleted, and not kept.

Nick, please help fix this asap.
