	There is a feature called "compact" which will remove the deleted files from the database. However, Thunderbird will not compact e-mail boxes (like Inboxes) unless you switch the feature on in the Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Network & Disk Space -> Disk Space menu. I recommend that you set the "Compact folder when it will save over" to 1000 KB (which is a 1 MB). This feature is set OFF by default in Thunderbird.
