I believe that bayes_seen is a perl hash and will not be reduced in size by
deleting entries.
The only way to reduce it's size is to have a program read the current file,
entry by entry and
output to a new file. This will not copy deleted entries and the output will be
significantly smaller.
I don't know of any program, but if there is interest I might write one.
