BackupPC supports automatic removal of old backups based on the schedule you provide, you shouldn't be manually messing with the backups. If you need a different schedule, then adjust the config, and let backuppc handle it for you.
So, can you explain the need to delete random backups manually? Generally, if you need to do something weird like that, then either you are doing something wrong, or you are using the wrong tool.
