Yes, delete removes all records of the volume that are in the
database, including the file and job records. So purging is not
necessary.

BTW, If anyone sees this example. It is from my home computer and not
the work network that I talk about most. Here at home there is only 2
real backup jobs and the rest is just for testing things. That is why
I could easily delete a volume.
