Delete unused swatches in InDesign CS5, js

Question

Hi,
I need to select and delete unused swatches in InDesign CS5. I looked through OMV in "Swatches" and "Swatch", but I could not find any function to select unused swatch and delete it.
Am I looking for it in the wrong place?
And I also need to read color values for used swatches. I got this in OMV and was hoping it would give me an array of the color values for all existing swatches, but I am only getting "Object color":
mySwatches = myDoc.swatches[1].getElements();
alert (mySwatches)
Thank you for your help.

var myUnusedSwatches = myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches;
for (var s = myUnusedSwatches.length-1; s >= 0; s--) {
     var mySwatch = myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches[s];
     var name = mySwatch.name;
