But that will happen by itself eventually - and won't really make a big 
difference anyway if you are going to repeat the backup of the same 
data.  In fact there's not much reason to delete the host at all unless 
you care about the backup number which is pretty arbitrary anyway.  You 
can just use the web interface to force a full after you make config 
changes and let the old stuff expire on its regular schedule.
