Any drawback to a purge right now? None I can think of if you don't need the data. Marking them used will respect the retention policy which it sounds like you don't want.

All -

I goofed on a config change and have multiple copies of 20gb data backups - I don't need all that so I'd like to recycle them immediately rather than waiting for auto recycling to happen (90 days). 
All backups are to disk volumes.  What's the best way to do that?  If I mark them 'used" will that work?  If not do I need to purge them?

Thanks in advance!
