Do you have all of those files in separate directories? Normally I'd think everything is under home dir, so you can just: rm -rf `doveadm user -f home $username` For deleting indexes and other dirs that are not under home.. well.. I guess you'll need some more scripting. Anyway, I don't think there's any good and safe way to just go delete user's directories. Especially home dir.
