You can as you say, 'rm *' to get rid of everything, but you might lose some
ligitamate email if you did. Can you move the files elsewhere? For the time
being? If you're not worried as you say, then go for it.

You may be able to edit the cron config file to turn off the automatic email
but am unsure... Like change 'MAILTO=root' to 'MAILTO=/dev/null' or
something like that, but I would only do this as an extreme temporary
measure.
