Yes, but you must not just barge in and start deleting them, they have to be 
renumbered in sequence after you delete the ones you want, otherwise the vm 
app breaks when the user is listening to their messages.

I think there is also a way to lock the files (I think with .LCK files) so 
that the vm app does not try to write them while you are manupulating. (and 
so your script can detect that there is a message being created.)

I expect you will be able to find some code out there that does it without 
breaking it. (vmspool_manager) ?
