You can use the "-j" option to run Remind in Purge Mode.  This cleans
out reminders that can never be triggered again.  See "man remind" and
search for PURGE MODE.  You can run a script once a night from cron,
something like this:

  remind -j /path/to/file.rem && mv /path/to/file.rem.purged /path/to/file.rem

[Purge mode is relatively new; it was introduced in 03.01.09.]
