[Freeswitch-users] Recovering from database fault

[Michael Collins]

Which files in the db/ directory did you actually delete? There are several
files in there and generally it is "safe" to delete them all. Note that if
you delete the voicemail_xxx.db for your domain then you will lose user
voicemail information, like new vs. saved msgs. Of course, the recordings
themselves reside in storage/voicemail/xxx/. (xxx = the name of your domain,
so if it's the default configs then your domain is "default")
