Can't you just change your retention of DBBackup sets to 1 and let it expire
itself, then change it back? Or am I not thinking about the same thing? I
would think this would remove it from volhist as well.

This was pursued recently with another customer.  See the thread at

Database reload resets the DBBackup Series number, resulting in this
situation.  Using the undocumented Force parameter of DELete
VOLHistory is a way out of it.

This is another reason to not do database Unload-Reload without a
VERY good reason.  (Hope of improving DB performance does not
constitute such a reason, in my experience.)
