All the politics, list etiquette, and general bitching aside, here is how I
would do what the OP wants.
Write up a small shell script that uses 'find /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/
-mtime +2' for a list of files older than two days assuming you want ALL
files deleted older than two days. You could always grep that output if you
only wanted to delete voicemail that is not still in the INBOX or elsewhere.
Anyways, then use -exec to rm the files. If the goal was to remove all files,
it might look something like this:
#!/bin/bash
find /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/ -mtime +2 -exec rm {}\;
Run that from cron once a day/hour/whatever and you're set.
rant
It still amazes me how often posters are unable to get a simple answer to a
question and instead are inundated with 'you top posted', 'you didn't ask the
question right', 'your spelling was wrong', etc... I mean, is this list just
a really big bridge with a bunch of trolls(no pun intended) waiting to pounce
on people just wanting to get to the other side where Asterisk
Enlightenment awaits?
And of course because I've diverted from the norm and possibly hurt someone's
ego, I expect a full backlash or smarmy remarks etc. Thank you in advance.

Not 100% on this but I think you want to just delete the files and not
the directories too so the command would be
find /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/ -mtime +2 -type f -exec rm {}\;

Tim, this is a partial solution. The find as written would remove
greetings, unavailable messages, etc. You would need to add a grep to get
only msg files.

Skip the grep...
sudo find /var/spool/asterisk/ -mtime +2 -name msg* -exec rm {} \;

I did not catch all the messages on this thread but why not use the
messages-expire.pl script included in Asterisk for this simple task?
It will delete and renumber all messages and you can program how many
days before a message is deleted.
Why re-invent the wheel. This script is way more flexible than a 1-liner.
(Note that Asterisk will renumber the messages for you automagically in
case you decide to cobble up your own script.)
