How can I clean my Email server? Is there any files I can remove? I've notice the MDBDATA folder keeping a lot of the TXT(E0000xxx) files.
Is there a tool to clean up Exchange?

Try using your Exchange Admin and use the inconsistency checker to weed out orphaned folders/records both in public and private folders. Refer to Exchange book online for more information.

Whatever you DO NOT delete these files! - depending on the version of Exchange you are running - in both 5.5 and Exchange 2000 a Full backup will flush your transaction logs - if you are running 5.5 the consistancy checker will help.

In E2K setupand configure the Mailbox cleaup agent.
Periodically you can clear out the tracking logs (typically in the Exchsrv Tracking.log directory).
In E2K you can remove any file in the Badmail directory.
