Do you have all of those files in separate directories? Normally I'd
think everything is under home dir, so you can just:

rm -rf `doveadm user -f home $username`

For deleting indexes and other dirs that are not under home.. well.. I
guess you'll need some more scripting.

Anyway, I don't think there's any good and safe way to just go delete
user's directories. Especially home dir.
