To remove particular backup:
# cd /path/to/store/pc/<hostname>
# rm -rf <backupnumber>
# vi backups          ##remove each line relating to your removed backups

If you do not want to wait scheduled BackupPC_Nightly run, you can start it 
immediately:
# su -m backuppc
> BackupPC_serverMesg BackupPC_nightly run
