If you set it to the following in gnus.el, those incoming files will
be deleted in 1 day(you can change it to any number). If you want to
delete it immediately, change the value to t.
;;if retrieving from spool, delete temp file after 1 days
(setq mail-source-delete-incoming 1)
(setq mail-source-delete-old-incoming-confirm nil)
mail-source-delete-incoming'
If non-`nil', delete incoming files after handling them. If `t',
delete the files immediately, if `nil', never delete any files.
If a positive number, delete files older than number of days (the
deletion will only happen when receiving new mail). You may also
set `mail-source-delete-incoming' to `nil' and call
`mail-source-delete-old-incoming' from a hook or interactively.
`mail-source-delete-incoming' defaults to `10' in alpha Gnusae and
`2' in released Gnusae. *Note Gnus Development::.
See the section on Mail Source Customization in the Gnus manual.
