When cPanel & WHM attempts to update your Exim configuration, dry run files are created in place of your ordinary configuration files. If the update fails, these dry run files are left in place. This means that when you access Exim's advanced configuration editor, you will be accessing these dry run files instead of the actual configuration files.

This function allows you to remove dry run files after a failed Exim update attempt.
