This depends on your quota calculation mechanism.

As you mention "maildirsize",
see http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/Maildir
You should remove that file, unless you use that file to store the user
limit, Dovecot will recalculate the size then.

I don't use Maildir++ quota, but Timo usually answers that way :-) the 
list archive should have several hints.

If you use the filesystem backend, the system enforces the quota. There 
are (had been) systems, that does not enforce quota, if the user gets 
overquota by non-user actions, e.g. when root "chown"s files.
