Deleting the .msf files also deletes profile-specific commands, such as retention periods. I had spent a long time setting hundreds of, but not all, folders to delete un-starred messages that were more than 30 days old. After deleting all my msf files, I lost that precious work. Don't delete msf files without thinking about the consequences!
