I actually changed the nofile by editing the /etc/security/limits.conf
file. It was only 1024. I have increased it to be bigger than the total
number of messages the test user has. The test user account contains
760+ folders and 76000+ messages. I restore the user and deleted it
again. The problem remains.

Greetings.
I'm running Cyrus on Redhat AS4. cyrus complains about too many open
files when I try to delete a user with large number of
mailboxes/messages. I increased /proc/sys/fs/file-max and max number
of
open files a few times. The errors still happen. Actually the user is
successfully deleted. I wonder if I should have any concern about
these
error messages.

Under debian with the speedblue.org debs, cyrus imapd runs under the
cyrus user, so you'll want to adjust the file-max for that user, not
just for root (as you did). Edit /etc/security/limits.conf
