I need to be able to delete a voicemail message using a program.=C2=A0 <br>

Is is sufficient to simply delete the .wav and .txt files in the spool dire=

Or do I need to also renumber the remaining files?<br>

For example, let say a given mailbox has 20 messages in it and I want to <b=

Also, is the answer the same when I migrate to storing voicemails in a <br>
