How do I nuke the quota.group files?

Anyone know how to get rid of these wonderful quota.* files?

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 16384 Apr 28 1995 quota.group*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 2097152 Nov 12 1995 quota.user*

I've tried everything short of wiping the disk to flush them. I tried to
turn on quota by mistake way back last year and haven't had any luck. (I
did it by mistake to /usr and / *ugh*) I'm probably going to turn on
quota's for /home and /home2 soon because a few folks have taken
advantage, so the below info was helpful..

Thanks in advance.
