I take it you mean, remove the files that control the backup. I
wouldn't, as they make it easier to recover data from those backup
sets. I suggest you simply remove the cron entry that runs it.

If you don't have any backups in that configuration or don't care
about possibly recovering from it, then, for a thorough and complete
purge:

* Remove the cron entry.

* Make sure you don't have anything in the holding area for DailySet1.
  Delete or flush to tape as appropriate.

* Make sure no other configuration refers to DailySet1 by inclusion.
  I'd try "find /etc/amanda -type f | xargs grep DailySet1".

* Go through /etc/amanda/DailySet1/amanda.conf, and delete relevant
  directories and files, e.g. logs.

* "rm -r /etc/amanda/DailySet1" (adjusting the path to suit).

* You may have other data. Wait a day for locate to rebuild its
  database, then "locate DailySet1".

On Debian, there are directories named DailySet1
under /var/lib/amanda/, /etc/amanda/, and /var/log/amanda/*

Similarly for all clients.
