I asked the same a while ago and from what I've collected from the NetWorker 
'collective', I've put together the following "client purge process".

The following works on my NetWorker 7.3.4 on Solaris 8 system.

1) mminfo -ot -q 'client=client_to_be_deleted' -r ssid | xargs -n1 -i nsrmm -v 
-S{} -dy
2) nsrck -Y -R client_to_be_deleted
3) Delete client entry in NetWorker Management Console (or nsradmin).
4) Delete client index directory.
        a. cd /nsr/index
        b. rm -r /nsr/index/client_to_be_deleted
