"postsuper -d QUEUEID" is the usual interface for deleting
files. For safety, you can put the messages on hold using
"postsuper -h QUEUEID" before you delete them.

If you have a bunch of undeliverable MAILER-DAEMON messages in
the queue, a far better solution is to stop accepting mail for
undeliverable recipients. See the archives for many
suggestions how to do this.
