You can delete the jobs via the bconsole:

purge jobs client=NAMEOFCLIENT

After this, the client is orphaned.

You can remove orphaned clients via bareos-dbcheck, see
http://doc.bareos.org/master/html/bareos-manual-main-reference.html#bareos-dbcheck

Should you check before, if the correct clients will be deleted:

bareos-dbcheck -v

Select "Check for orphaned Client records"

If you are satisfied, call dbcheck in repair mode:

bareos-dbcheck -v -f

and select "Check for orphaned Client records" again.

After this you can remove the client from the configuration.


regards,
Jörg
