Many thanks to everyone who replied!
Removing the directories worked exactly as I wanted!
The reason I wanted to start fresh is that I completely changed the
directories that I wanted to back up... I started with a small test
directory and now want to remove the test and start backup #0 fresh with the
entire backup.
I realize I could just perform a full backup to get a complete backup of the
entire backup contents, but would prefer to clean up my test first :)
Thanks again!
