Hi,
 
How about a simple commandline?
C:
cd \imail\spool\virus
del .
Y
should bring you a long way.
 
If you want to break it down a bit do "Del a*.*", "Del b*.*", etc. to be able to let the server "get some air" in between.
 
For the future....... Here is what I use each night:
DTLog is a small program I wrote which prepends each line with a date/time stamp. You need to modify those lines. The batchfile below is based on what someone else submitted here a while ago.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] clean up virus folder

I have more than 800'000 files in the spool/virus folder.

I can not delete these files through windows explorer, windows search or
whatever because of the huge number of files.

Which tool/method can you recommend to delete all these files?

Thanks
