Hello,

I'm also using single instance storage for attachments. Because of that, I
think I can't just remove the mdbox storage with rm because I'll be stuck
with attachments from removed mailboxes. Am I wrong?

This is why I first use doveadm flags/expunge to mark as removed all
messages then I use doveadm purge to remove them from storage. I can't use
theses commands on deleted/disabled user, I get an error saying the user
cannot be found, so I can't remove them from LDAP first.
