On UNIX, try my script 'mifclean':

Usage:  mifclean  [ -hudptcvxPTCVX ]  [ -s ]  <MIF files>
 
"Cleans" the specified MIF files from things that are not used ...
...
-x      From the Xref "catalog", delete all X-ref formats that are
	never used.
...

After this, reimport X-ref formats from a template.
I also have an unreleased version that deletes specifically named
formats, of diiferent types (paragraphs, x-refs, variables, etc.)
