If your intention is to eliminate the unused indexes rows you should run
'vaccum' and/or 'vacuum full' and/or 'reindex'.
This also has the consequence of freing filesystem space and returning
it back to the OS.
Check it out here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/maintenance.html
chapters 22.1, 22.2 and 22.3
I use:
VACUUM FULL ANALYZE;
REINDEX INDEX yourIndex;
REINDEX TABLE yourTable
it works just great for me.
