ah!  i'm glad for you, because if it had been your production database
your only option would have been retraining.  which is still your only
option ;) i've been thru this myself.  the FAQ describes the .idata
format, so it is theoretically possible to do something to get rid of
such categories, but it is complicated.  if you still had the
misdirected messages, you could -d (delete) them, but you would still
have to go thru the database afterwards to nix out the wrong categorie
names, and make sure they don't reappear anywhere.
