Is there a way to resolve that? EG: Extract a list of valid message files from the database and remove those that are not referred to in there?

cyr_expire on 2.3.16
Hi All, I'm running 2.3.16 cyrus-imap on Centos 6. Following a mother board failure on our primary Cyrus server we have been using a standby server that normally gets a daily backup from the primary. I now have the primary server running again and I'm transferring the mailbox data back from the standby. Through a backup anomaly there a quite a few more mail files in the mailbox store than cyrus has in its database. The primary server is now fine, and preparing to be live again. If I check the content of the imap store with mutt all is well on the primary after updating it from the standby, there's just a whole load of surplus files in /var/spool/imap/.. that I'd like to delete. I believe I need the -D option in cyr_expire but when I run it I get this help text ./cyr_expire cyr_expire [-C ] -E [-X ] [-p prefix] [-a] [-v] Is the -D option not valid in this version? What's the simplest way to tidy the filesystem up?
