[ale] clearing out root's mail

I'm running Centos 5.4. Root's mail file has grown to a cumbersome size.
I'd like to clear it out but if I follow the advice I've been able to
googe and dum/delete/create new  the file (/var/spool/mail/root),
sendmail rebuilds it to the original size.  Is there a step I'm missing?

thanks,
William
