There is a db2 utility like "db2adutl" that it's useful to delete the backup
object in TSM database
it's located in /db2home/sqllib/adsm. and it's possible to specify
"timestamp" of the objects in order to delete only one
or "older" than this timestamp in order to mantain only 5 copies of
db2backup

It's better to issue a simple query in your TSM db first:

1 su - "db2_user"

2 db2adutl query db "db_name"

3 db2adutl delete full older "timestamp" db "db_name"
after this command those object are deactivated and TSM policies are
responsible to delete it

4 it's possible to delete also your logs with db2adutl but I don't remember
the right sintax.

Take care
