I'm not sure it's doing anything though in this instance, since my drive
space has been 31.5gb free for about an hour and a half. :-)

We run a batch file that changes to the badmail dir, then del *.* /q.
This is scheduled to run weekly from the AT scheduler. Works well.

We tried the del *.* but it freaked out.

We used the rm.exe command (ported from unix) and it worked FAST.

Go to the command line set your default into the directory and delete
the contents (del *.*) . If you try from explorer, it will crash. It
cannot handle the amount of messages that appear there.

Anyone have a guide on flushing this? I got a customer with over 1
million items.
