Error while Expunging folder

Just started experimenting with Evolution and the 'Trash' was not able to empty itself when asked to 'Empty Trash'.And an error similar to following occurred,for the folder 'bad-folder ' that was created by mistake and was added to trash.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error storing `~/.evolution/mail/local/bad-folder (mbox)':
Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tried a lot and finally after goggling a lot finally got an idea to try out deleting the entry for the folder 'bad-folder' from the Evolution profile itself.
So first listed all of the entries for it in the profile directory.

[ssharma@l_ssharma ~]$ ll ~/.evolution/mail/local/z-bad*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ssharma ssharma 20426153 Jun 19 09:29 /home/ssharma/.evolution/mail/local/z-bad-folder
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ssharma ssharma 177 Jun 23 08:59 /home/ssharma/.evolution/mail/local/z-bad-folder.cmeta
-rw------- 1 ssharma ssharma 214595 Jun 19 09:29 /home/ssharma/.evolution/mail/local/z-bad-folder.ev-summary
-rw------- 1 ssharma ssharma 25644 Jun 19 09:29 /home/ssharma/.evolution/mail/local/z-bad-folder.ev-summary-meta

and then the client 'Evolution' was shut down.Once down all the files listed were cleaned up.

[ssharma@l_ssharma ~]$ rm -rf ~/.evolution/mail/local/z-bad*

Restarted Evolution and the folder was gone. :-)

And this is how I'll like to orate out the whole thing. - Today was the last morning when I had to get up early at 5:30 AM get ready and then run past the stray dogs barking at me for disturbing them at that hour, and also fearing a call from office that the cab has left from the pick-up point, though i had been a victim of the same a couple of times. - Today was the last morning when I was supposed to log-in to my Linux box and do some maths for getting the sum up at 8+ Hrs for the activities done yesterday and then stamp the same...
