Yes, it's definitely safe to delete wheneven the server is shut down. We remove it as part of the startup script at FastMail, just in case something crashed. Both sync_server and sync_client will create it if necessary. You can probably remove it safely, but if Cyrus is running and using replication there is a theoretical probability that a new process will start up with that PID and decide to use the directory!
Ok, thanks for the replies - I'll remove them next time we restart the service [to be safe]...
