Yes. If you don't care about the statistics (displayed in web
interface), that's all you have to do.  The next time BackupPC_nightly
comes across the file in the pool, it will get deleted too and the
space get's freed on the server.

There was some command to update the statistics, too, but I can't
remember it right now.
