BackupPC does not as far as I know have scripts or commands yet to actually
remove backup from the pool.
To remove bckups you need to get into the script.
Solution
cd /var/lib/BackupPC/pc/<client>/
ls
rm -fR <backup_number> /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_nightly 0 255
Check space reclaimed with df.
You still need to remove a statistic line, otherwise you will see it in
your web interface. To do that:
nano /var/lib/BackupPC/pc/<client>/backups
With ctrl+k you can remove the line with <backup_number>
done..
