if you are allowing allfix to create new areas, they will be created with
new files arrive... this is the same way that traditional echomail tossers
also add and create new message areas...

what are your FILEECHO_SYSTEM->Uplink_options settings? mine are

  Re-request rate             5
  Re-request times            3
  Auto remove passthru echos  No
  Auto-add delay              1

the first two are the ones you are concerned with... AFAIR, the above are
the defaults... i don't recall changing them over the years...
