Since it's an IMAP folder you can remove everything and Evo will just
recreate it, though it might take a while depending on your connection
speed and the folder size. However if you want to remove the minimum
possible, the answer will depend on your version of Evo which so far you
haven't mentioned. The reason is that recent versions use an SQLite
database for folder info while earlier ones used a variety of index
files.

If you have a folders.db file in ~/.evolution/mail/imap/<account-name>
then yours is a recent version of Evo. Try just moving it aside ("mv
folders.db folders.db.backup"). Do this with Evo completely stopped of
course ("evolution --force-shutdown"), then restart Evo and see what
happens.
