On VMware backups, delete filespace will delete all of the backups for the VM, 
not just the newly excluded volumes.

Excluding the Hard Disks will make current backups for those disks inactive and 
they will age out based on your retention policy.  I do not think you can 
delete them otherwise without deleting all the backups for the VM and starting 
over.
