Need help clearing BAYES DB

I accidentally ran SpamAssassin for some time with the "AutoLearn"
function turned on.  I noticed it was learning many SPAM messages as
"not Spam"

Oops.....

Is there any way to delete everything ever learned by SpamAssassin?

I have all of my spam samples still and could easily relearn those.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

Simply delete the bayes_* database files.  Then use sa-learn to relearn
your emails correctly.

1) ensure no processes are running that could be accessing the bayes database
2) rm -f ~/.spamassassin/bayes_*
