//Remove Unused Table Styles
removeUnusedTableStyles();

function removeUnusedTableStyles() {
	var TableStyles, found,
	documentStories = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem();
    TableStyles = documentStories.tables.everyItem().getElements();
	for (var i = TableStyles.length - 1; i >= 1; i--) { // skip default style: [None]
            app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
            app.findTextPreferences.table.appliedTableStyle.name = TableStyles[i];
            found = TableStyles.table.appliedTableStyle.name();
			if (found.length == 0) {
				TableStyles[i].remove();
		}

Hi Medos,

I don't see the table property existing in findTextPreferences object, so this code would crash. I don't see the same in grep search preference as well, so this idea might not work for table styles.

What I can think of is the old school way of iterating over all the tables in the document, make a list of used styles and then delete the styles that do not exist in this list
