Unable to Delete Users Mailbox (Cyradm)

Let me start off by saying I have searched through all the Posts regarding this topic and tried everything I could find, even the tutorial from :
http://downloads.topicdesk.com/deletemailusers.pdf
But Still no luck! I am definitly in need of help here because I have a number of Mailboxes I need to delete.

I have no Problems Logging in. Here is what I'me getting,:
(Just using the one MB, Happening on all though.)

localhost> lm
Other Users/virtual (\HasChildren)
Other Users/virtual/INBOX.Drafts (\HasNoChildren)
Other Users/virtual/INBOX.Sent (\HasNoChildren)
Other Users/virtual/INBOX.Trash (\HasNoChildren)
localhost> sam Other\ Users/virtual
usage: setaclmailbox mailbox id rights [id rights ...]
localhost> Other\ Users/virtual
sh: line 1: Other Users/virtual: No such file or directory
localhost> dm Other\ Users/virtual
deletemailbox: Unknown/invalid partition
localhost> dm Other Users/virtual
deletemailbox: host argument only supported in IMSP
localhost> sam Other\ Users/virtual admins all
setaclmailbox: admins: lrswipcda: Unknown/invalid partition
localhost> sam Other Users/vitual admins all
usage: setaclmailbox mailbox id rights [id rights ...]

Again, I've gone through all the Posts here and nothing helped. Is there any other way I can remove Mailboxes or can someone whelp me out with removing them through Cyradm?

Thanks!

What is the admin user you added to the imapd.conf file?
For my example below I will say you added admin user isometric to it.

admins: cyrusimap, isometric (be sure to separate user short names with a comma)

It appears you are fumbling with the proper terminal path command. I did the same thing at first.

It should look like this:

localhost> sam Other\ Users/virtual isometric all

then

localhost> dm Other\ Users/virtual

Try:

sam "Other Users/virtual" admin all
dm "Other Users/virtual"

That syntax works for me.

Actually come to think of it, I did make a seperate Mail Partition just for testing purposes and the virtual mail box was set upunder it. I have Deleted the Partition and the UNIX account. All I need to know is how to delete imap accounts that are on a seperate partition, command line.

I have no problems deleting the other mail accounts that are under the Default Partition.

Soo does any one have any ideas?

I deleted the Folder in:
/var/imap/users/v/
I deleted the un file "virtual" but it still shows up in the ServerAdmin, under the Mailboxes.

I have no idea how to delete a Mailbox that was placed on a different Partition (Cyradm).

I have already deleted the Partition through ServerAdmin.

I need to be able to delete the User's Mailbox that is listed in the Database but I don't know the Command lines for referencing to a Different Partition.
