First check to see if the held files are still in your data directory: /usr/local/mailman/data/heldmsg-....
If they are, go ahead and delete them. Then simply go to the lists configure directory and delete the file request.db: /usr/local/mailman/lists/<listname>/request.db Version 2.1 of Mailman is superior to version 2.0 in that it will re-create request.db if needed. Before deleting it though, be sure you've removed the heldmsg-files that are in the ../data directory.
