I checked by directory and it is 8.8GB(!). 7.7GB are in an EvolutionMail folder (probably because I have too much saved mail). So I'm going to try just deleting this folder. I should know whether this is successful the next time I reboot the laptop. (Killing beagled and beagle-helper has eliminated the cpu hogging.)
