It sounds like it's related to the setting of one of these variables:
,----[ (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 (This
| 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-old-incoming-confirm'
| If non-`nil', ask for for confirmation before deleting old incoming
| files. This variable only applies when
| `mail-source-delete-incoming' is a positive number.
