Whenever I remove a client I delete all it's configuration and run reload in 
bconsole. Then remove the database entry manualy and run a dbcheck.

psql -c "delete from client where name='client-name'" bacula
dbcheck -f -b -c /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf

I use postgresql but the query should be the same for mysql.
