Tracking of savesets on media requires very little diskspace.  For this
reason, media entries are not removed when the retention period
expires.  This only indicates that the saveset no longer prevents media
reuse.  Only when the media is actually recycled does the saveset get
removed from the database.  You can wait for that to happen, or you can
explicitly recycle your media.

You can remove savesets from the database explicitly with
(nsrmm -d -S <ssid>), or if this was on media that no longer exists, you
can remove the volume itself from the database (nsrmm -d -V <volume>).  Any
savesets that exist only on that volume will be removed.
