Subject: trash folder

Can someone explain to me what the trash folder function is under the main backuppc directory ?

My assumption is that this is where expired backups go and then get cleaned out.  What I am seeing is my trash folder grow and as such my /backups file system gets full, and then I need to delete manually, which can take quite a while.  I also noticed that one of the directories under trash cannot be deleted.  Not sure if this is causing the issue with the trash directory to be cleaned up.  I tried to delete the directory under trash with the command: rm –Rf <dirname>, but this returns the following error message:

rm: cannot remove directory `1213856098_21475_0//f%2fvar/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr/ffshare/ffman/ffman3/ffform_field_buffer.3x.lzma/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr/ffshare/ffman/ffman3/ffform_field_buffer.3x.lzma/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr/ffshare/ffman/ffman3/ffform_field_buffer.3x.lzma/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr/ffshare/ffman/ffman3/ffform_field_buffer.3x.lzma/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr/ffshare/ffman/ffman3/ffform_field_buffer.3x.lzma/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr/ffshare/ffman/ffman3/ffform_field_buffer.3x.lzma/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr/ffshare/ffman/ffman3/ffform_field_buffer.3x.lzma/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr/ffshare/ffman/ffman3/ffform_field_buffer.3x.lzma/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr/ffshare/ffman/ffman3/ffform_field_buffer.3x.lzma/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr/ffshare/ffman/ffman3/ffform_field_buffer.3x.lzma/flib/fbackuppc/fpc/flinuxpc/f0/ff%252f/ffusr': Directory not empty

Looks kind of strange to me.

Any help/advice would be much appreciated.  Up until recently it was working great.  Not aware of any changes to my system.

Regards,
