Michael,
You haven't given us much information to go on.

  * Which version of Cyrus?
  * Did you install from distribution packages (i.e. debs on
    Ubuntu/Debian or rpm on Redhat)?
      o Some distros have different default settings
  * What is 'delete_mode' set to? (I'm guessing "delayed" but still
    worth asking)
      o Allowed values: immediate, delayed*
  * What is 'expunge_mode' set to?
      o Allowed values: default, immediate, delayed*
  * Have you got any 'cyr_expire' jobs in cyrus.conf?
      o The precise commands may vary by distro
          + On Debian/Ubuntu systems look like this (using "cyrus
            expire") whereas others may use "cyr_expire":
              #      # Expire data older than 28 days.
                     deleteprune    cmd="/usr/sbin/cyrus expire -E 4 -D
                28" at=0430
                     expungeprune    cmd="/usr/sbin/cyrus expire -E 4 -X
                28" at=0445

Assuming you have typical annotations, you should be able to use the 
'cyr_expire' command directly.  Here's the man page for it:

  * https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/reference/manpages/systemcommands/cyr_expire.html

On my Ubuntu system a command to remove all deleted mailboxes older than 
1 minute might be:

    $ sudo cyrus expire -a -D 1m

Cheers,
