the title of your message says BackupPC is not running. Presuming you mean
this as in "BackupPC is not running", then it is not surprising it is not
freeing up the space. Start BackupPC. The nightly cleanup will free the space.
It is run on the first wakeup listed in $Conf {WakeupSchedule}. What
are the following variables set to in config.pl?

        $Conf {WakeupSchedule}
        $Conf {MaxBackupPCNightlyJobs}
        $Conf {BackupPCNightlyPeriod}

Which version of BackupPC are you using? Do the log files show that the
nightly cleanup is run regularly (as in "each night")?

Regards,
Holger
