Eric, Deleted databases do not "automatically" get inactivated. You must manually inactivate them.
>From the command-line interface, use the TDPSQLC INACTIVATE command. It is very similar to the RESTORE command. Enter TDPSQLC HELP INACTIVATE to see the exact syntax. >From the GUI, go to "View", "Inactivate Tab", and you will see a new tab show up which allows you to choose the database backups that you would like to inactivate.
