Thank you Preston - it's very easy to forget that part if you don't deal
much with clones!

Bear in mind that if you delete by saveset ID alone, you'll delete all  
instances of the saveset, not just the one on disk. I.e., if you've  
got clones, they'll be deleted too.

Unless you are deleting aged savesets that only existed on disk, or  
"junk" savesets that were never cloned and you don't need, you should  
always delete by ssid/cloneid:

nsrmm -d -S ssid/cloneid

Cheers,

Preston.
