Mail.que file and shadowredundancyQueue too large
Lately, we have been receiving alerts from our network monitoring utility that the C: drive space has been intermittently filling up, than returning to normal every few hours.
Upon further investigation, we found a file called mail.que to be the culprit. (located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\ data\Queue ), which is about 42.7 gigs.
I ran the get-queue command and see that there are 296 items held in ShadowRedundancy (screenshot attached)
My question: Is this a normal scenario? If not, is there a way I can purge the shadow queue without causing any harm to the Exchange environment?

Thanks @timgreen
If the redundancy does not clear, is there a way to purge the shadow queue as opposed to just disabling it?
