In the datastore admin console, the old backups cannot be seen.
It should last few backups only.

How to delete backup not shown in the datastore admin console

Thanks for sharing your questions here.  To be a little more specific, I would need to confirm a little more information.
  • Where can you see that there are very old backups since they are not listed in the Datastore Admin?
  • Are these backups stored in a Cloud Storage bucket?
  • How old are these backups?
With the above information, I should be able to provide more tailored advice.

In the datastore admin console, there is a section 'Backups'
In that section it does not display all the backups.  In my case, 100 backups are displayed.

The backups are stored in the cloudstorage. We have some very old backups that are stored in the blobstore as well.
We have backups for last 2-3 years.

The Datastore Admin backup handler only lists a maximum of 100 results from the Cloud Storage bucket when it looks for backups. To see older backups, you can copy them into a different Cloud Storage bucket to restore from, or reduce the number of backups to less than 100.

I did not understand.  How do I copy to a different cloud storage to restore from?  

How do I see the old backups, so that I can delete.

You can only see last 100 backups in the list.  The only way to see those beyond 100 is to delete some of the oldest ones you can see.  Then, you will start to see even older ones in the list.

Any other way.  I have to delete 2-3 old backups which are backed up every day/week.

Unfortunately, there is no other way as far as I am aware.

To clarify regarding Datastore backups to Cloud Storage buckets, the backups themselves can be deleted directly from the bucket.  You can do so from the Developers Console.  It will no longer be present and no longer cost you for storage.  Unfortunately, it will remain listed in the Datastore Admin as that list appears to be stored elsewhere.  If you then attempt to delete it from the list, it fails to delete the backup stating it could not be found but succeeds in removing it from the list.

If your issue is specifically about paying for backup storage, you can work around that by deleting the backups directly from the bucket.  If the issue is about the Datastore Admin not displaying all backups or not reflecting the actual list of known backups, I would strongly suggest filing a defect report on the App Engine public issue tracker.

Hope this helps.
