cd /var/lib/backuppc/pc/<hostname>
rm -rf *

This of course assumes that the data is in /var/lib/backuppc; and your
per-host configuration files are in /etc/backuppc.

Also note that the space won't be freed until BackupPC_nightly runs. If I
remember correctly, you can invoke it by hand with:
su - backuppc
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_nightly 0 255

Someone please correct me if there are cleaner ways to do this, or ones with
fewer gotchas.
