function deleteUnusedSwatches (doc) {
     var items = doc.pageItems,
     len = items.length,
     sw = doc.swatches,
     slen = sw.length,
     arr = [],
     str = null,
     i = 0,
     j;

     for (; i < len; i ++){
          doc.selection = [items];
          arr.push(sw.getSelected()[0]);
     }

     str = arr.toString();
     for (j = slen - 1; j > 1; j --){
          RegExp(sw.name).test(str) || sw.remove();
     }
}

deleteUnusedSwatches(app.activeDocument);

It seems this will do the job.

Edit:

Sorry, this will not work as expected.

And I recall there is already one writed by John Wundes which also remove all unused symbols and etc.
