The problem with deleting your annotations.db is that you loose all
groupware folder information thus killing the groupware functionality
of the server. Depending on the client you are using this may or may
not create problems. Hopefully your users don't use the functionality
not too much.

In such cases you can also try to use the db_recovery tool provided by
the berkeley db package.
