Michael,
You haven't given us much information to go on.

 * Which version of Cyrus?
 * Did you install from distribution packages (i.e. debs on
   Ubuntu/Debian or rpm on Redhat)?
     o Some distros have different default settings
 * What is 'delete_mode' set to? (I'm guessing "delayed" but still
   worth asking)
     o Allowed values: immediate, delayed*
 * What is 'expunge_mode' set to?
     o Allowed values: default, immediate, delayed*
 * Have you got any 'cyr_expire' jobs in cyrus.conf?
     o The precise commands may vary by distro
         + On Debian/Ubuntu systems look like this (using "cyrus
           expire") whereas others may use "cyr_expire":
             #      # Expire data older than 28 days.
                    deleteprune    cmd="/usr/sbin/cyrus expire -E 4 -D
               28" at=0430
                    expungeprune    cmd="/usr/sbin/cyrus expire -E 4 -X
               28" at=0445

Assuming you have typical annotations, you should be able to use the 'cyr_expire' command directly.  Here's the man page for it:

On my Ubuntu system a command to remove all deleted mailboxes older than 1 minute might be:

   $ sudo cyrus expire -a -D 1m

Cheers,
