You can safely do the following (only your backup size statistics will
get skewed):
find /backuppc/pc/somepc -name '*.mp3' -o -name '*.iso' | xargs rm

To actually free the space, run "BckupPC_nightly 0 255" (make sure that
BackupPC is stopped while you do it to ensure that no two
BackupPC_nightly's run at once at the same portion of the pool).

Hope this helps,

Tino.
