RTFM, man dhcpd.leases:
In order to prevent the lease database from growing with-
out bound, the file is rewritten from time to time.
First, a temporary lease database is created and all known
leases are dumped to it. Then, the old lease database is
renamed /var/db/dhcpd.leases~. Finally, the newly writ-
ten lease database is moved into place.
I'm not sure why you want to "refresh" them. I guess you could kill
dhcpd, delete them, and restart dhcpd. This is probably a bad idea, and
AFAIK you shouldn't need to do that sort of thing.
