Anthony,
Do you need to recover the storage and catalog space immediately? If so,
about the best you can do is to purge all jobs associated with the
clients you are removing (this is pretty quick to do using BAT), then
recycle or delete any volumes which show as purged after purging the
jobs.  If you don't want to or can't do that (for instance if you've
already deleted the clients and their job definitions), you'll pretty
much need to just let the data expire out of your Catalog and storage
pools over time.
