SiliconPrairie's Paragraph Tools and Character Tools plug-ins have the respective 'Delete unused styles' commands too. Ok, you have to buy these, but they're not costly, and have a load of other useful commands as well.
It's somehow really satisfying to see the para style palette shrink before your eyes ;-) I've had a document (which had clearly 'been around a bit') go from over 100 para styles to about six before now.
Their Table Tools plug-in does the same thing for unused table styles.
