I think what you're looking for is: rm -rf /var/lib/backuppc/cpool/* /var/lib/backuppc/pool/* /var/lib/backuppc/pc/*
This deletes the pool plus all host data, basically starting back at zero. Assuming the host is still listed as a target, backups will repopulate next job. If you're looking for a way to purge an individual host, remove it from the hosts file, rm -rf /var/lib/backuppc/pc/HOSTNAME, and backuppc_nightly will take care of the stale files next time it's called. Similarly, if you just delete everything in /var/lib/backuppc/pc/* and remove all hosts from the hosts file, backuppc_nightly will basically delete your pool for you.
