Default Permanently deleting email history from database

I have nothing to fear! I just want to free some memory or would I be just
gaining some space on my hard drive by deleting all the files?

I heard on the radio that you can go onto the database and delete the files
by searching *.*. dsb but the search doesn't find anything.

My browser is always telling me that I am low on memory, I have deleted all
my files and the message still keeps on coming up. Do you know anything else
that I can do to free some memory?

Compacting your folders is the best you can do. Can they still be recovered?
Possibly using a tool that checks the HDD for fragmented messages.

The CIA, FBI or Homeland Security could certainly recover enough to find
what they needed to know.

The only way to be sure is to remove the hard drive and run a D8 Cat over it
a few times.

I understand that even though I have deleted my email messages from the
folders they still exist on the database. How do I permanently delete all
email from the database?
