+1 for refresh; this behavior isn't different enough from what other 
applications do to warrant new terminology.

Users who aren't familiar with "refresh" aren't going to know what 
"clean up" means either.  Meanwhile, our early adopters will likely 
be people who've used enough other apps to know what "refresh" means, 
so inventing a new term is just putting an extra entry barrier in 
front of them.
