Inport/Export Issue

One of my buddies (Buddy A) is at the same network as I am and has a complete backup of my data. If I do a right mouse button click on this buddy and select properties, the dialog shows that I have 62,5 GB of data stored on this buddy.
Another buddy (Buddy B) does not have a complete backup of my data, nevertheless has 68,7 GB of data stored. In conclusion, Buddy B has at least 6,2 GB of data which I already have deleted and is deleted from my backup.

I created this difference accidentally myself with the next use case:

1. A couple of months ago I executed the "I want to backup my data" with the intention to speed up the backup to buddy B.
2. Buddy B was more on-line then I expected so there was no need to use the backup.
3. A couple of months later I came back from a nice holiday. I wanted to speed up the backup of my photos; therefore, I exported my backups again. The critical step hereby was that I exported my data to the same folder (on an external HD) as in step 1. I had not deleted the old backup files and so I added the new files. (In the assumption that Buddybackup would only import the relevant data).
   
4. This time I did go to Buddy B and imported my data.

Step 4 happened more than a month ago and since then Buddy B has more data then Buddy A who is usually up to date.
To solve this issue I tried the "buddybackup -clean" command on the PC of Buddy B; however, this had no effect.

Do you have a solution to delete the irrelevant data on Buddy B? (Preferable an option that does not include deleting all my backups at Buddy B and creating new backups ).

Hi John,

Thanks for your replay. I will try that when I am at 'Buddy B'' and will let you know whether it works.

I have 3 buddies and have set 3 backup copies.

Hi John,

I noticed something else. In the Backup Status view of Buddybackup I noticed some folders with files I know of that I deleted them a couple of months ago (I have set the 'automatically remove backups older than' option to 60 days).
The details of the files indicate that the files are only backed up to Buddy B. There are no local backups. (I have set BB to keep local backup copies of all my files.)

Is there an option for automatically deleting these files?

Hi John,

I checked the date of the folder on my external hard drive. It is from September 14, 2010. So, that is the date I exported my files for the second time to the external HD and imported these at buddy B. I can't recall the date of my first export; however, it is still more than 60 days ago.

Can't it be something like:
- My local BuddyBackup does not have local backups of the files; therefore, does not recognize that the backups can be deleted (There is nothing to delete on his site).
- Buddy B does not receive a 'file is deleted' message from my buddy, since my buddy has nothing to delete.
