It is also possible that an unclean shutdown or similar leaves
orphaned defer files around because the deletion never completes.
Or that someone manually deleted a queue file without deleting the
corresponding "defer" file.
When using "long queue ids" it is safe to delete sufficiently old
deferred files by hand, if the corresponding queue files are no
longer around.
This was discussed in a recent thread this year...
