Which version of Gnus are you using? Current Gnusae delete those
files after a couple of days:
,----[ (info "(gnus)Oort Gnus") ]

,----[ (info "(gnus)Mail Source Customization") ]
| `mail-source-delete-incoming'
| If non-`nil', delete incoming files after handling them. If `t',
| delete the files immediately, if `nil', never delete any files.
| If a positive number, delete files older than number of days (the
| deletion will only happen when receiving new mail). You may also
| set `mail-source-delete-incoming' to `nil' and call
| `mail-source-delete-old-incoming' from a hook or interactively.
| `mail-source-delete-incoming' defaults to `10' in alpha Gnusae

BTW, an index search for "Incoming" brings this up immediately.
Bye, Reiner.
