Hashing is on the second part of the name, rather uninteligently,
no matter what the name - hence it's hashing on:

DELETE.user.x
       ^

No - the files will have the delivery date as their age.  The interesting
bit is the final part of the folder name, which is actually a 32 bit
unix timestamp in hex format (yes, really).

cyr_expire will clean it up.  Don't mess with the filesystem under cyrus
if you don't have to.
